Scope Of Work

The Schuster Performing Arts Center occupies a full block in the very center of Dayton. The complex is made up of three major components: the Mead Theatre, the Winter Garden, and an 18- story office/residential tower with below grade parking. The complex, located opposite the Victoria Theatre and the Loft Theatre, is the centerpiece of Dayton's arts district. The Mead Theatre is a 2,300-seat, multi-purpose hall. It is accompanied by the 150-seat Mathile Theatre, which is used for rehearsals, small-scale performances and special events. A celestial dome lit with fiber optic "stars" replicates the sky on December 16, 1903, the eve of the first powered flight of Dayton natives the Wright Brothers. The Winter Garden, a glazed public atrium, is the focal point of the complex. It serves as a lobby for the theater and as a forecourt for a restaurant and ticket office.
