CWRU Maltz Performing Arts Center Design Addition Unanimously Accepted
Members of Cleveland, Ohio’s Euclid Corridor Design Review Committee were impressed by our plans for a large addition to Case Western Reserve University’s Maltz Performing Arts Center. They loved it. Their heartstrings were pulled.
Located near the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, the approval for the addition wasn’t surprising given that our firm has a national reputation for designing cultural and performing arts facilities. Our specialization is rooted in the planning and design we did for renovating Playhouse Square Theaters starting back in the 1970s.
“The idea is to let it have its own presence,” says Principal Ron Reed of the original temple. “[The design doesn’t] try to upstage Silver Hall. You’ll lose.”
