THE ART OF SCIENCE AND SPACE.

Landmark cultural arts projects embrace the diverse ways we engage each other through live performance, meeting, banquet, storytelling, learning, interaction and entertainment. The architecture is required to host a broad menu of experiences for casual guests, family groups and after-hours eventgoers. This need for flexibility reinforces the importance of carefully intertwining open and inviting front-of-house spaces with discreet and efficient back-of-house spaces. We understand this balance is essential to support both an institution’s mission and its often challenging cultural business model. A landmark design is a transformational bespoke solution driven by place and culture, and a functional and flexible community forum for deepening in-person social engagement.

- 10,000 person capacity

- Artists’ dressing rooms

- Green room

- Ticket booths, vendor and event areas

- Retail areas

The amphitheater stage sits on the southeast corner of the site and faces Rocky Creek and Mercer University Drive. It holds three distinct seating areas: 2,500 fixed seats in a stepped seating bowl, 1,500 temporary seats on a flat floor between the fixed seats and stage, and 6,000 lawn seats outside of the bowl and roof structure. VIP seating are in 10 ‘boxes’ between the pit and fixed seating. Two entrance plazas have concessions, retail amenities, and restrooms, as well as overlooks providing additional VIP opportunities. There will be other concession and retail options around the amphitheater, and future plans could include the construction of a full-service restaurant.

Performers enjoy a 55’ deep by 70’ wide performance stage with 20’ wide wings. A 12’-15’ deep loading dock is being designed to accommodate eight truck bays covered with a canopy to better serve the performers and crews. There are separate men’s and women’s dressing rooms, star dressing rooms, a green room, catering area and a crew locker room.

The master plan also includes sites for future retail, restaurant, hotel, and park/festival space. The amphitheater is intended to be a catalyst for the redevelopment of Macon Mall, taking advantage of underutilized parking while revitalizing a static section of suburban Macon, Georgia.

MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM,

PREMIUM SPACES AND THE HOME DEPOT BACKYARD

Atlanta | Georgia

Design Architect: HOK / 360

Architect of Record: TVS

TVS created 250,000 sf of hospitality-inspired premium clubs, suites and concourse zones that reinvented the game day experience. The client wanted an iconic, unparalleled fan experience that would get fans off their sofas and away from the convenience of their home environments. The new stadium had to be compelling enough to keep the fan coming back. The result more than met the client’s desire – guests are arriving early to the game and leaving late, enjoying all the stadium has to offer. A testament to this response is that more food and beverage is sold now before the beginning of the game than was sold during the entire game at the old Georgia Dome.

The stadium’s distinct hospitality-driven spaces provide options that appeal to a variety of demographics, serving as multifunctional alternative revenue streams and elevate the guest experience. The client wanted these premium spaces to become the benchmark for best in class spaces, not only in the sports and entertainment industry, but across all luxury guest services industries. Today’s stadium-goers are seeking memorable, authentic and highly personalized experiences that deliver the unexpected.

- 71,000 seat

- 1,800,000 sf

ATLANTA CIVIC CENTER

Atlanta | Georgia

TVS leads the cultural concept design and planning portions of a larger SOM/GVS led master planning effort for the redevelopment of the historic Atlanta Civic Center campus.

The repositioning of the Atlanta Civic Center will leverage a symbiotic partnership with a renovated performing arts venue to celebrate and grow Atlanta and Georgia’s music industry. The expansion is envisioned as a sensitive addition to the west and south of the civic center, one that reinforces the landmark’s relationship to the large public plaza to the north, while providing an iconic street presence along both Piedmont and Ralph McGill.

The team aspires to preserve the entry lobby experience of the original civic center, along with the new monumental façade facing the plaza. Similarly, the expansion is planned with its primary exhibit entrance to the north, off of the grand plaza. By orienting the new expansion lobby directly adjacent to the civic center lobby, we envision robust co-hosting of events that can flow across seamlessly.

AREA + ATTRIBUTES

- Five acres

- 430,000 sf total (existing and new)

- 1,200 seat concert venue

- 2,000 seat theater

- 500 seat theater

- 300 and 500 seat dinner theater

RED HAT AMPHITHEATER

Raleigh | North Carolina

The City of Raleigh and the convention center authority are relocating the existing Red Hat Amphitheater, coupling its redevelopment with an expansion to the existing Raleigh Convention Center. The new location remains downtown and offers a mix of urban aesthetics and functional design for live performances hosted primarily by Live Nation.

The new amphitheater remains an open-air venue with no roof over the audience area, allowing for a natural, outdoor concert experience. The stage, however, has a roof to protect performers and equipment from the elements. The seating is primarily a combination of loose and fixed seats and benches. Planned capacity is set between around 6,000 to 7,000 people. The amphitheater is built into the heart of downtown Raleigh, giving it a unique blend of cityscape views. It is designed to integrate with the nearby Raleigh Convention Center, which has a striking metallic shimmer that mirrors the modernity of the amphitheater.

The stage is large, with an industrial, minimalist look that features a new curvilinear roof form. The backdrop is often filled with large digital screens that enhance the performance experience with visuals and lighting effects. Despite being outdoors, the venue is designed with acoustics in mind. The orientation of the stage and the seating help ensure that the sound is directed toward the audience and away from city residents, minimizing noise bleed into the surrounding urban environment.

AREA + ATTRIBUTES

- 6,000 – 7,000 seats
