This project involves renovating and re-envisioning a 335-seat multi-use auditorium. The auditorium occupies a tight footprint within a 113,000-square-foot academic building built in 1992. Nextstage guided the owner and design team in reshaping the auditorium to create a supportive space for music and theater performance. We led efforts to reorganize backstage, improve accessibility, and maximize use of storage spaces. And we designed new technical facilities and equipment to support professional-level training and properly prepare CCSC students for work or continued studies.
