The Frederick Loewe Theater project entailed creating a state-of-the-art experimental black box theater in an existing Neo-Gothic assembly hall. The design maintained historic detailing while inserting a contrasting modern kit of parts into the space. These pieces included an audio and lighting control room, concession booth, and curved wall that are configured as discreet elements to define the lobby space. Industrial light fixtures and stained plywood panels are surface mounted to the walls of the theater. The space is painted midnight blue to give the black box theater a more dramatic feel when the lights are up. Theater seating is arranged on telescoping movable planks allowing for three seating configurations.
