CONTEXT
MASTER PLAN
KCUMB WEAVER AUDITORIUM Weaver Auditorium is located on the corner of Independence Avenue and The Paseo in Kansas City, Missouri. The building, however, is oriented toward the campus facing away from the city. Included in the master plan was a complete renovation of the interior. The renovation plays an interesting role in the rebranding of the overall campus of KCUMB. The use of color, the design of the spaces, the furniture, and the experience of the space would form the standards by which the rest of the campus would develop. This added a bit of
weight to the project to make sure that it was in line with the campus essencing and goals. My specific area of impact was on the main level. The auditorium, which has not been well used due to it’s massive size, will be divided to create lecture halls on the first and second floors. This level will include the lecture hall, a lobby and breakout area, study alcoves, and a row of flexible instruction spaces. Effort was made to salvage any usable material for reuse in the new design.
