"Michael Grimm Text description provided by the architects. Opened in 1976, the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center was a professional performing arts center in dire need of transformation. The aging brutalist structure stood closed off from view and separated from the surrounding urban fabric. With aging infrastructure, the building needed a comprehensive modernization to meet the escalating requirements of contemporary performance and to present a new face to the public."
Opened in 1976, the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center operated as a professional venue housed in an aging brutalist structure that had become closed off and disconnected from its urban surroundings. The building suffered from obsolete infrastructure and inadequate technical capacity for contemporary performance standards. The project implemented a comprehensive modernization to upgrade mechanical, electrical, and theatrical systems, improve audience and performer amenities, and reconfigure facades and circulation to present a newly visible public face and restore connections with the surrounding urban fabric.
