From the 2023 Educational Interiors Showcase: Festus High School Performing Arts Center
Oct. 16, 2023
The Festus, Missouri, project was recognized as an outstanding design in the auditoriums/music rooms category.
The new Performing Arts Center at Festus High School in Festus, Missouri, addresses the needs of various performance opportunities for the community and school teaching environment. The auditorium seats 750 and includes a large stage and fly loft. Seating capacity is mostly spread over the raked main floor with additional seating on raised levels at the rear of the auditorium. Using many design components, the theater includes textured masonry, auditorium seating, glass rail system, an ADA-compliant stage, orchestra pit, and band/choral shells and risers. Designers used modern and simple elements throughout the interior with a “higher-education ambience” to uplift the educational atmosphere and inspire students.
