THE GLORYA KAUFMAN PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Los Angeles, CA USA
2021
Designed to support both the campus and the community, the building is the home of Vista Del Mar’s innovative therapeutic performing arts program and is designed as a multi-use performing arts facility that accommodates dance, music, teaching, and theatrical productions.
The 10,550 square-foot performing arts center includes a 300-seat theatre and accommodate dance, music, teaching, and theatrical productions. The project is an adaptive reuse of an existing building, including a temple from the 1960s, that has been preserved and expanded by a 3,325sq ft addition to accommodate ongoing Jewish Life Programs in addition to production support areas, rehearsal spaces, stagecraft, dressing, and classroom spaces. By wrapping the existing theatre with a translucent addition, the building has evolved into a glowing new center for the campus.
