The Egg

The Egg is only minutes from the "Albany airport":http://www.albanyairport.com, "Amtrak":http://www.amtrak.com and the New York State Thruway with direct access from I-787 in either direction.

The construction of The Egg began in 1966 and was completed twelve years later in 1978. The Egg was designed by Wallace Harrison for all the people of New York State and to accommodate many events and performances.

Architecturally, The Egg is without precedent. From a distance it seems as much a sculpture as a building. Though it appears to sit on the main platform, the stem that holds The Egg actually goes down through six stories deep into the Earth. The Egg keeps its shape by wearing a girdle - a heavily reinforced concrete beam that was poured along with the rest of the shell. This beam helps transmit The Egg's weight onto the supporting pedestal and gives the structure an ageless durability that belies its nickname.

When you're looking for the perfect place to hold your next concert, corporate reception, theatre performance, conference, luncheon, small trade show, presentation - even a private party - call The Egg. Our rental program offers the best facilities, top quality support staff and a flexibility unparalleled in the Capital District. And our downtown Albany location affords easy access from Boston, New York City and points west.

An internship at The Egg offers on-site experience in an administrative setting. It is an opportunity to go beyond the skills developed in the classroom to put such skills to use in a practical setting.

*Internships are available in the following areas:*

*Marketing/Public Relations*
write press releases, programs, postering, box office assistance, ushering

Internship positions can be arranged as scheduling allows and are available during the fall, spring and summer semesters. All internships at The Egg are unpaid positions but may be available for credit (depending upon the requirements of the individual schools).
