UCI Contemporary Arts Center (# 377) |
|
|
The winning entry in a design-build competition, this 60,000 square foot college Contemporary Arts Building is finely attuned to its Southern California climate and community context. The LEED Platinum certified project incorporates innovative strategies for energy-efficiency that become bold design ideas. The five-story structure includes a large experimental black box theater and an art gallery, both double-height spaces, surrounded by multiple studios, classrooms and offices. The architecture stimulates interaction with the surrounding Arts Village with multiple terraces, landscaped courtyards, balconies and a colonnade. A new entrance court plaza has been planted with shade trees and fitted with wooden benches and integrated lighting to make it an inviting public gathering space. |
