Facility Design
The Valley Performing Arts Center at Cal State Northridge features a dramatic and elegant signature design by the Minneapolis-based architectural firm of Hammel, Green and Abrahamson. Planned for the northwest corner of Nordhoff Street and Lindley Avenue, the Center will include:
- a 1,700-seat hall acoustically adjustable to accommodate all types of performances
- a 200-seat black box theater for experimental and smaller-scale student productions
- 2 full-size rehearsal spaces
- indoor and outdoor public and entertainment areas
- a lecture hall, labs, and other academic spaces
- technical support space and capability for audio and video recording and electronic amplification
- full studio/administrative space for campus radio station KCSN-FM, which Los Angeles magazine proclaims “stands out … in a city of superb college-affiliated radio stations.”
