Orange County Performing Arts Center
Costa Mesa, California

This project consisted of site evaluation and conceptual planning for a new 2,200-seat concert hall and a 700- to 900-seat proscenium theater expansion to the existing Segerstrom Hall. Options were considered for program and site placement in various configurations. A viable solution was arrived at by presenting plans and models to the client. The scheme provides expanded administration areas for OCPAC staff, the South Coast Repertory, Opera Pacific and Pacific Symphony Orchestra as well as future expansion space for a planned performing arts conservatory or academy. 300,100 g.s.f. Projected 2002.
