The new Tempe Center for the Arts, designed by Tempe Arizona's Architekton is a 90,000 sf arts center designed to support community performing and visual artists. Under the protective roof, individually expressed venues consist of a 600 seat proscenium theater, a 200 seat studio theater, a 3,500 sf gallery and a multi-purpose lakeside room. Each venue opens up to a central "city room" with dramatic views to the North. Unlike most theaters, this lobby is open to the public without a ticket and becomes a popular gathering place that brings art and community together while enhancing the Tempe landscape, promoting positive quality of life issues related to sustainability, recreation and culture.
