The City College of San Francisco's Performing Arts Center will
consist of three major performance venues, support spaces for the
venues, and classroom and office space for the drama and music programs.
The performance venues will include a 650-seat multi-purpose auditorium,
a 150-seat studio theater, and a 150-seat recital hall. The project
is registered under the LEED for New Construction rating system.
A campus goal is to have living roofs on all new buildings, and
the Performing Arts Center will have a 30,000-square-foot living
roof. The project's site will be 30-40% pervious, with natural topography,
and the building's density will fit into the fabric of the campus
and the neighborhoods around it. A central plant will be located
within the Performing Arts Center; it will improve overall energy
efficiency by reducing systems redundancy and using high-performance
equipment. The project will also strive to minimize construction
waste and maximize recycled content of all materials. Using dual-flush
toilets, waterless urinals, metered faucets, low-flow showers, and
efficient landscape irrigation will achieve significant reductions
in water use. Low- and no-VOC products will be selected throughout
the project. And a green cleaning program is planned.
