THE DAIRY CENTER FOR THE ARTS - The Dairy Center for the Arts, a non-profit community arts center is housed in a 42,000 square-foot former dairy building in the heart of Boulder. Over the years, SSA has served as architect of The Dairy turning this building into the city’s largest multi-disciplinary arts facility, where over 150,000 community members annually enjoy more than 35,000 lessons, classes and performances. The Dairy is recognized as a national model for facilitating cooperative relations among arts organizations and for its adaptive re-use of a vacant industrial building. The re-use and renovations to date include two black-box theaters, a 250-seat performance hall, art galleries, numerous art/dance/music studios, administrative offices, a large lobby and box office facilities. SSA has created a dramatic design for the next phase of renovations called“New Face of the Dairy.” This phase includes the addition of glass-walled Entry and Atrium spaces along with an Outdoor Terrace to provide an alluring, light-filled entrance, supplementary gathering spaces, a large concessions/bar area, and modern ticketing services for patrons. A softly flowing, curved roof coupled with the glass entry/atrium will be an inviting visual juxtaposition to the solid, concrete block structure of this wonderful former industrial building. |
