Centennial Performing Arts Center
Utica, Nebraska
A growing student population and a desire to provide modern educational opportunities for its performing arts students resulted in the Centennial Public School district commissioning BVH Architects to provide architectural planning and design services.
BVH provided pre-bond issue consensus building workshops and construction administration architectural design services for a new performing arts auditorium. The 23,000 square foot addition to the existing K-12 school includes seating for 556 patrons with 100 seats removable to accommodate large scale productions. The auditorium is a full functioning performance venue with modern audio visual, lighting and stage rigging systems. It also functions as the large scale meeting space for lectures and several student body gatherings. Additional elements of the $5.3 million project included renovation of the existing concessions area, new lobby commons area, fire-aggression upgrades throughout the existing building, increased on-site parking and enhanced pedestrian/vehicular circulation.
The sidewalls are designed with alternating splayed-wood acoustical triangles that create a dynamic visual effect and greatly enhances the acoustical scattering to reduce the number of other acoustical treatments.
