Set in historic, downtown Columbus, this new, five-story, multi-venue facility is the centerpiece of the city’s new entertainment district. Theatre Projects designed the performance spaces in the 245,000 square foot center to help the client fulfill a multi-faceted mission: to host touring groups, partner with local arts organizations, provide versatile performance and education spaces for Columbus University music students, and give their ArtsReach Program the resources to offer arts education to underprivileged kids. The center features a multipurpose theatre with a demountable orchestra shell and motorized orchestra pit, a flexible studio theatre with reconfigurable staging and seating, and a dynamic recital hall with a 360-degree balcony and a built-in pipe organ.
