The project involves a reconfiguration of the arts center’s performance, exhibition and classroom spaces. The multi-use performance space has been enlarged to accommodate multiple seating and production arrangements. Flexible theatrical lighting now serves the multiple stage locations. The exhibition gallery has been relocated to a more prominent area of the building that affords more immediate access from the main entry. Larger classroom spaces are provided and located where there is an abundance of natural light.
A prominent entrance vestibule and canopy have been added on the main street façade to create a more striking downtown presence.
An addition provides much needed gallery and performance storage. An expanded kitchen facility serves both indoor and outdoor events. A covered platform shades performers during outdoor events in a newly landscaped courtyard.
