Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center at Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services
The Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center (GKPAC) is a distinctive center fostering innovative multi-disciplinary events to share with a diverse audience and the students of Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services (Vista).
Designed by AUX Architecture to support both the campus and the community, the building is home to Vista Del Mar’s innovative therapeutic performing arts program and is designed as a multi-use performing arts facility. In December 2020, Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center received a 2020 AIA (American Institute of Architects) Design Award and was named People’s Choice winner. The project is an adaptive reuse of an existing building that is augmented by the addition of new square footage for accessory spaces. These include production support areas, rehearsal spaces, stage craft, dressing, and classroom spaces possible. The translucent façade system of 100 percent recyclable polycarbonate allows for uniform natural light to pour into all accessory spaces while keeping the building highly insulated and shielded from UV rays. By wrapping the existing theatre with a translucent addition, the building is evolved into a glowing new center for the campus.
