Westminster School, Centennial Performing Arts Center

Simsbury, Connecticut, USA
Steve Rosenthal

Westminster School, a private secondary school in the Connecticut countryside, was in need of a versatile facility that could accommodate a range of dance, drama, and musical performances in addition to school events and ceremonies. In response, we designed the Centennial Performing Arts Center.

30,000
square-foot facility
2
balconies
54
distance to stage from back row (in feet)

The center features an intimate 400-seat courtyard theatre that stacks the audience onto three tiers and pulls them remarkably close to the performers. The facility features a full fly tower, scene shop, dressing rooms, storage areas, and additional support spaces. The center also contains dance and music studios, music practice rooms, and a number of informal gathering areas for students.
