Folsom Lake College Harris Center for the Arts
ARCHITECTURE
Critically acclaimed by the arts and theater communities, the Harris Center for the Arts provides a world-class teaching laboratory for the students and faculty of Folsom Lake College, as well as a much needed venue for over 50 regional dance troupes, musical acts, theater companies, and other performing arts groups.
The programming process began with the collaboration of representatives of each of the Arts Departments - Dance, Music, Theater and Visual Arts. The needs and desires varied between each department and were carefully recorded and incorporated into the building program. This collaboration continued on a regular basis which enabled LPAS to understand the importance of scope to each group and the priorities of features that needed to be maintained.

UC Davis Ann E. Pitzer Center Recital Hall & Classroom
The Ann E. Pitzer Center is a classroom and recital hall facility designed specifically to meet the needs of the music department and the community as a venue for the study and performance of music. At the heart of the building is a 399-seat classroom and performance venue with variable acoustics that has been designed to the highest standards of acoustical architecture. A spacious lobby welcomes students and patrons and can accommodate performances and events.
Beginning with a set of criteria documents, the LPAS Design-Build team thoroughly reviewed, vetted and analyzed the information provided to understand the functionality and performance goals that were expected by the Department of Music and University. Three proprietary workshops were held with the client groups where design explorations were presented, studied and evaluated collaboratively to establish the design direction that best met the program, budget and schedule. Computer modeling and physical study models were used to investigate options and alternatives of possible solutions.

Owen Hall Music Center Renovation
Renovations were completed on three separate buildings: the Faye Spanos Concert Hall, Owen Hall, and Buck Hall. All of these buildings serve the Conservatory of Music and the renovations were critical for the Conservatory to maintain accreditation of their music program.
Owen Hall was an existing 2-story structure built in the 1940s as military barracks which was converted to music instructional spaces. The project had a total budget of $1.6M but only $770,000 was available for construction. During the programming process it was important to clearly identify and prioritize the elements of the program that would support the Conservatory in maintaining their accreditation and satisfy functional and cultural goals of the department.
