Location: Los Angeles

Client: LACCD / Los Angeles Valley College

Budget: $84 Million

Estimated Completion Date: September 2025

The anticipated LEED Gold state-of-the-art facility will form a regional academic and cultural nexus, demonstrating Los Angeles Valley College’s leadership in the production and performance of art. By housing the media arts and performing arts programs under one roof, the arts department will create a truly multi-disciplinary environment where students and faculty can draw inspiration and resources from the broadest range of expertise. Sited at the north end of the Campus Green, the Media Arts / Performing Arts Center will simultaneously provide a welcoming Northern terminus to the LAVC campus quad and an amenity for the community. This Center will include a full complement of labs, classrooms, rehearsal spaces, production facilities and faculty offices around four primary theater spaces; including a 450-seat Main Stage Theatre, a 250-seat Screening Theatre, a 200-seat Horseshoe Theatre and a 90-seat Lab Theatre.

The project designed by EYRC, is in keeping with the school district’s ambitious environmental sustainability goals and is anticipated to achieve LEED® Gold Certification. QDG took over as the AOR for the project upon DSA approval to see the construction through project close-out.
