SANTA ANA, Calif. – Representatives from Long Beach City College announced the groundbreaking ceremony for a $25-million renovation and addition to Auditorium J at Long Beach City College located in Santa Ana, California. The two-year college educates more than 33,000 students per year and is one of the largest community colleges in California.
The Long Beach City College project includes both new construction and modernization for an existing performing arts auditorium originally built in 1956. The 37,878-square-foot renovation includes a complete redesign of the entry, lobby and restrooms, as well as substantial work within the auditorium including rehab of all seating and the addition of accessible control areas.
All backstage and support areas are being completely modernized. The project also includes constructing a new, 14,449-square-foot, two-story addition designed to blend with the existing structure and the surrounding campus. The addition includes a costume shop, paint room, offices and new classrooms for theater production and dance. Construction is anticipated to be complete in fall 2019.
The project was designed by SVA Architects, and is being built by Novus Construction.
