This project is a district-wide performing arts center for AISD. It includes the following: a 1,200 seat auditorium, dance studio, 500 seat black box theater, and 205 capacity multi-purpose room. The project has received LEED Gold rating and Austin Green Building Program 2-star rating. Steel joists were lighter weight, and more economical than other structural systems.

In order to support the new construction, all existing 2-story steel columns were encased in concrete with continuous rebar to provide the additional required strength. The concrete and rebar were then extended 6 feet above the top level to provide a pedestal on which to connect the new steel columns.
