Auditorium Conversion: Perry Technical Institute

The Perry Tech Auditorium had been a center of community activities and graduation ceremonies for countless years. Accessibility issues and an overall need for a renovation caused Perry to evaluate how the large volume of space might best be used. The result of this review was the birth of a project to completely renovate the Auditorium converting it into two full floors of usable space as well as constructing a two-story building addition to enlarge the available space.
The first floor has been designed to house the campus Book Store and the Admissions Office Suite. The second floor is largely occupied by a new Student Center which features stepped seating created from the existing concrete risers from the old Auditorium. In addition, this floor will house a large Presentation Room, Interview Room, Offices, and the campus Learning Resource Center.
