MACS Fine Arts Center
Bringing theater, music, and creative learning together in one performing arts center.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A Home for Theater and Music
The MACS Fine Arts Center brings together a 600-seat proscenium theater with balcony seating, an orchestra pit, and a counterweight rigging system, alongside a 100-seat studio theater that doubles as rehearsal space.
Band and choral rehearsal rooms feature AV/sound systems and acoustical treatments suited to music instruction and performance. Working under the leadership of Little Architects, Kyle Smith & Associates provided drawings and specifications for performance equipment, AV/sound systems, and acoustic treatments throughout the theaters and music rooms, including LED-based stage lighting systems and fixtures.
