Mesa Arts Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mesa Arts Center is a 200,000+ square-foot arts complex located in downtown Mesa, Arizona, in the United States. Completed in 2005, the $94.5 million facility is the largest arts center in the State of Arizona. This includes four performance theatres of varying sizes with a combined total 2436 seats, five galleries with a total of 5,500 square feet of exhibition space, 14 visual and performing arts studios and classrooms, informal performance areas, and outdoor gardens. The architecture of the entire complex has a modern flavor, with jagged angles, canted walls, sloping roofs, glass walls, and regional colors and materials.
The complex was designed as collaboration between the architectural firms Broome, Oringdulph, Randolph, and Associates (BOORA) of Portland, and DWL Architects + Planners of Phoenix. Martha Schwartz Inc. was the landscape architect firm for the project.
