Description

Your Measure CC Tax Dollars at Work The new Finkelstein Performing Arts Center will provide instructional spaces for music, theater, and dance programs at Crafton Hills College. The projected $41 million cost of the building will be funded through a voter- approved bond measure and state- matching funds. The modern, multifunctional, 24,000 square foot performing arts venue will be located where the old gym was demolished and will replace the existing Finkelstein Performing Arts Center. The new building will include a 270- seat main theater, a smaller blackbox theater, dressing rooms, a green room,offices,a scene shop,a costume shop, as well as music recital rooms and a recording studio. With a design that uses indoor and outdoor teaching and learning spaces, the project is already being recognized for its green building efficiencies and sustainable building operations. Shaded patios, specially designed and placed windows, and solar panels will increase energy efficiency while the drought-tolerant landscaping and electric car charging stations will help reach carbon neutrality. This addition to the campus will significantly enhance the creative arts of the College and strengthen its performing arts programs. Event Sponsors: AECOM Kitchell Who Should Attend?
