Cesar Pelli & Associates
In 1997 Theatre Projects worked with Cesar Pelli &
Associates to create a masterplan for the renovation of the historic Avery Hall on the Vassar campus. The project continued in 2000
with plans for new drama and film spaces to be built behind the
preserved facade of Avery Hall. The new 54,000 square foot building includes a drama theatre, flexible theatre, cinema, and extensive instructional and craft spaces. On the north side, the Center opens onto the Frances Daly Fergusson
Quadrangle, used by the drama department for outdoor
productions and by the college for concerts and other campus events.
