The scope includes an approximately 56,000 SF addition to the North High School centered around a 1,200-seat center focused on a stage with a full-fly loft. This premier performance program is augmented by a feature entrance lobby and secondary performance space, as well as a breadth of support spaces to ensure a high-functioning and flexible facility. The district was interested fundamentally in a building that is resilient and durable, but that conveys a high-end, professional performance venue for the community.\u00a0In addition to the main stage, multiple areas within the center double as performance \/ multi-use spaces, including the front entrance lobby, the balcony space, and a monumental staircase in the lobby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N91_casestudy-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N91_casestudy-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N91_casestudy-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N91_casestudy-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N91_casestudy.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a523a222 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:4rem;margin-bottom:4rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"925\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N79_casestudy-1024x925.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N79_casestudy-1024x925.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N79_casestudy-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N79_casestudy-768x694.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5_4871_N79_casestudy.jpg 1063w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<p>Wood treatments throughout bring a warmer, professional aesthetic to the performance venue, and layering less resilient materials and finishes slightly out of reach ensures they won\u2019t be susceptible to damage.
