AMBIA
Completion: 2005
The Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts is South Puget Sound Community College's signature building. It is the physical symbol of the college's two-decade evolution into a comprehensive community college.
The school encourages the use of this facility by community groups and cultural organizations.
The Center's Main Stage and Black Box theatre provide home stages for the college's theatre program. Music students have classrooms for choir, instrumental music and electronic music, as well as practice rooms. The building houses a general art lab, a ceramics lab, a lab for drawing and printmaking and an exhibition gallery for the public to view student works.
The 500-seat mainstage theatre offers a full-sized stage with sprung dance floor, fully rigged 58 foot tall fly tower, full depth orchestra pit, orchestra shell, and computerized stage lighting control.
The Black Box theatre is 38-by-38 feet with a lighting grid at 15 feet. The seating system offers flexible audience arrangements for up to 100 seats. The space also has an adjoining video recording studio and voice-over booth for video production.
The 1,000 square-foot Exhibition Gallery has a fixed channel grid throughout which maximizes the potential for hanging artwork, partition walls, and lighting fixtures.
