We provided guidance on the project from the earliest stages, helping clarify our clients’ vision and unifying their needs. The facility features a stunning Broadway-style theatre, which we designed for exceptional intimacy, comfort, performance flexibility, and ease-of-use for multi-truck touring acts, and an incredible 1,700-seat multiform theatre, capable of transforming the room’s architecture between opera house and concert hall. For community arts groups, we designed a courtyard theatre capable of multiple stage configurations with no seat farther than 35 feet from the stage. The center also includes an education corridor with specialized arts classrooms, and three event-hosting areas.
