HASSELL: The next generation of performers and aspiring artists
could get their first taste of the stage at the state-of-the-art
performing arts centre in Geelong, Australia, following a major upgrade
of the facade and facilities.
The HASSELL design for the 35-year-old Geelong Performing Arts Centre
will cement its position as one of the leading venues in the state.
The $38.5 million redevelopment centres on a new entrance heralded by an
impressive contemporary facade, which provides an exciting new
experience for visitors from across Geelong, the region and beyond. The
new entrance also improves accessibility and amenity.
HASSELL Principal and Head of Design Mark Loughnan says the
redevelopment is testament to Geelong leading the way in regional arts.
“The expansion will also include rehearsal facilities, new dance studios
and provision for creative industries offices. As the only stated-owned
arts centre outside
Melbourne, Geelong Performing Arts Centre will not
only be a landmark destination it will also service the needs of the
growing creative and cultural community,” he said.
Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2017 and Stage 2 is slated for
completion in late 2018.
