Adaptively reusing and adding on to a 56-year-old temple on the Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services campus, this transformative project brought to life the Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center, a multi-use 300-seat performing arts center that accommodates a variety of programming including dance, music, teaching, and theatrical productions and establishes a home for Vista’s therapeutic performing arts programs. The primary challenge was transforming and preserving the temple while also completely revitalizing it. By utilizing 4,7000 square feet of the existing building and adding 5,850 square feet of new L-shaped addition, the team strategically and efficiently created the multi-use performing arts center. To maximize each square foot of the building, flexible rooms provide the opportunity to easily transform a space from a classroom to a rehearsal space to a green room. One of Los Angeles’ largest installations of polycarbonate panels in an education/cultural building, with 160 panels (2,900 square feet) of polycarbonate, the Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center’s façade is both sustainable and visually brilliant.
