CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
After the overall master planning of the UCHS site, buildings and programs were allocated to specific team members. I was given the program for a performing arts center. My goals and intentions were to not only incorporate as many aspects of the performing arts, such as singing, dancing, and acting, into my program as possible, but to interest those in the surrounding neighborhoods to feel welcome and connected to the other spaces on our site.
