Education Webinar

New Buildings Over $200 Million – STRUCTURE OF THE YEAR 2024 WINNER Perelman Performing Arts Center

March 13, 2025 | Thu 12:00 America/Chicago

Duration: 1.0 Hour

CE Credits: 1.0

$Free

Pushing the envelope for new possibilities in multiform performance spaces, this nine-story performing arts venue in Lower Manhattan’s World Trade Center site offers three seamlessly interchangeable theater spaces and dedicated areas for rehearsals, back-of-house operations, and public amenities. From small black-box venues of fewer than 100 people to one theater large enough for 1,200 people, the facility operates as a “machine” with massive guillotine doors allowing multiple configurations.

Built above subway tracks and loading docks below grade, the venue acoustically isolates the three theaters from each other, the primary building structure, and the envelope, with the interior boxes sitting on rubber-and-steel bearing pads to prevent noise and vibration. Existing below grade constraints also forced the structure to span between only seven limited capacity “super column” support points. This presentation covers MKA’s solutions to these challenges as well as the history and vision of this iconic new building.

Presented by Katie Reif, P.E., S.E., Magnusson Klemencic Associates

  • Course will award 1.0 hours of continuing education for the live session only.
  • Each series registration is per person.
  • This will be available as a recording, with no PDH attached.

Please note: This webinar is part of the NCSEA Webinar Subscription; however, we ask that all individuals register to receive credit for the live event.
