Semple Brown designed this facility to anchor a crucial gateway between the town’s historic downtown and its civic/municipal district. It was carefully sited to stimulate future development in the area, and to carefully balance visibility with the “hometown feel” that defines the Town’s vision. The new center is intended to encourage local citizens not just to consume culture, but to create it with a variety of community creative spaces. The largest single element of the building face is a wall of perforated, weathered steel that allows light and shadow to play across its face during the day, and becomes a dramatic illuminated screen at night – a giant curtain through which patrons pass to enter the building. The design provides the community with flexible range of distinctive gathering spaces: An event room, event patio, informal amphitheatre and multiple studios complement the 535-seat theatre.[READ MORE]
