Project Description
The new Miami Performing Arts Center is composed of two major structures; a 200,000 SF concert hall and a 350,000 SF ballet opera house. The concert hall is structured out of steel framing supporting concrete on metal deck and steel framing supporting formed concrete at the balcony tiered seating areas. The ballet opera house building will house the new theater and support spaces. In addition to the main performance area, this building houses a rehearsal area, banquets room and a studio theater. The structure is steel framed supporting concrete on metal deck. The balcony areas are also steel framed and support formed concrete seating risers. Long span steel trusses span the theater and support the attic and roof levels.
