Architectural Significance in Metal Buildings: Arbogast Performing Arts Center

The Architectural Significance in Metal Buildings series will deliver a range of detailed case studies to help students understand the inherent architectural processes of metal buildings and how to leverage these popular construction solutions. Each report spotlights a single facility and dissects the priorities, goals and outcomes of the design and building process. Also, the materials examine how each design journey is relevant to aspiring architects and include resources with weblinks to more details about the project.

The Arbogast Performing Arts Center folio was created by MBMA in coordination with MT Studio, Brentwood Builders, Inc. and Foundation Steel, LLC. It highlights the 39,000-square-foot multi-purpose arts center designed for family and student education, entertainment, community programming and business events.

The 20-page folio contains:

• Insights and commentary from the architect, construction team and local officials, including advice to architecture students.
• Special requirements for the project, such as the need to achieve superior sound quality in the theater as well as the challenges of building during the pandemic.
• Photos, drawings and design graphics highlighting important aspects of the project.
