2009 AIANC Design Awards - Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) - Honor

Architect: Szostak Design - The Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), a 2,800 seat Broadway-style theater, is the largest venue of its kind in the Carolinas. Created to accommodate touring theatrical companies, concerts, and locally produced stage performances, DPAC was co-developed and designed by the architect and was built for a total project cost of $46 million, less than half the price of comparable venues elsewhere in the country. Hailed for its aesthetics, crisp acoustics, intimacy of seating, and excellent sightlines, DPAC is a skillful marriage between a simply composed, highly efficient house and a dramatic, multi-level glass lobby.
