The new Performing Arts Center for the 3,000 student Centerville High
School in Centerville, Ohio will serve as a tremendous asset for the
high school’s thriving theatre, arts, and music programs, and to the
Community-at-Large. The new center is funded through a local bond issue
passed by the voters within the District in 2005.
The Performing Arts Center project includes a 1,200-seat auditorium, art
galleries, dance studio, ticket offices, dressing rooms, green room,
practice rooms, loading dock and scene shop. The center is designed to
relate and function in support of the existing vocal, orchestra and band
classrooms, offices and rehearsal spaces.
The new auditorium replaces the existing 300-seat auditorium with a
3,400-square-foot stage with a 49-foot wide proscenium, orchestra pit
(with cover to extend stage “into the house”), with sound and lighting
systems and capabilities for audio/video recording of stage
performances. The balcony provides seating for 300, with seating for 900
located on the main level. This seating configuration allows for a full
class to attend an assembly on the main level at one time, which until
the completion of the auditorium was only possible on bleachers in the
main gymnasium.
The Performing Arts Center will not only allow for the continued growth
of the high school’s music, dance and theatre arts programs, but will
offer a new major venue for the public to plan and attend lectures,
plays, musical and other cultural events, as well as providing local
visual artists gallery space for Community artists.
The addition’s masonry and glass exterior is designed to present a
strong visible image to the Community, and yet remain within the
architectural context of the existing building. This is especially true
when the addition is viewed at night when most of the school and
community events will occur. The rich and vibrant colors used in the
design of the Center’s interiors present an image of excitement to the
exterior and one that is warm and inviting.
The construction of the new facility began in October 2006, and through
the efforts of the Owner-Architect-CM team and the all of the prime
Contactors, the facility opened in December 2007 with a
standing-room-only performance … two months ahead of schedule and
on-budget.
