Notes:
"Syska Hennessy Group provided electrical engineering and architectural lighting design services for the construction of a new $50 million, 47,000 sq ft theater district. In addition to the theater, the complex will include a Play Development and Education Center, and a restaurant/cabaret area. The centerpiece of the project is a 450-seat experimental theater. The Play Development and Education Center will serve UC San Diego’s Department of Theatre and Dance, and the La Jolla Playhouse. The Center will include a “black box” or experimental theater, sound studio, three classroom/rehearsal spaces, office and administrative support space, and workshop and storage space. Functions are located on three levels, two above natural grade and one below. This facility will act as an experimental laboratory for artists and educators and a state of the art, fully flexible teaching and performance facility and interaction venue for ideas and community interface."
