Whether you are restoring a theater or designing a contemporary space from the ground up, the goal is to immerse audiences in the experience. At the same time, your space needs to be flexible and versatile.

Performing arts centers are moving away from the stage-plus-lounge model to one that offers adjacent rooms for events, lectures, music, and experimental performances. Venues need to be adaptable, allowing for flat lines as well as graduated seating in order to host workshops, classes, and events that can bring in new sources of revenue.

Plus, with the growing role of technology, it’s important to consider how multimedia experiences can be integrated into your overall plan.
