The Orlando Performing Arts Center will be home to the region’s best performing arts organizations and a multicultural artistry of national and international standing. The vision is for a sustainable civic center that can transform its urban neighborhood and can foster community pride, becoming a sought-after destination for the arts.
While OPAC was in the early conceptual phase of the project. ZHA was retained as the general consultant and owner’s representative to assist OPAC in programming, design and construction of the new complex. The project’s $330 million concept includes a 2,800-seat amplified hall, 1,800-seat acoustical hall, offices, classrooms, banquet rooms, rehearsal spaces, theater-support spaces and areas for retail, dining and refreshment. The University of Central Florida will operate an undergraduate and graduate performing arts campus at the center.The university will have a 600-seat recital hall, 200-seat small performance theater, and a highly adaptable “black-box” theater (moveable seats and stage). In addition, a 750-car parking garage will serve the center’s patrons and students.
The project site, located in downtown Orlando to the east of city hall, will also have 400,000 square feet of office space, a 200-room luxury hotel, high-rise housing, and a grand plaza to serve as a gathering space for people attending performances.
