Santa Barbara City College is a single campus and is rated one of the top 10 community college campuses in the nation.

We were the Architect, Theatre Consultant and Acoustician for the modernization and expansion of the 53,000 sqf Drama-Music building which includes a new lobby, choral room, instrumental room, piano lab, recording, appreciation and music labs, practice rooms and an office.

The 400 seat performance venue was completely renovated to create a suitable reverberation time for symphonic orchestra presentations and a new fly loft with motorized rigging. The 100 seat studio theatre was also renovated with a new tension grid.
