Cerritos College to Break Ground on New Performing Arts Center March 6
Facility to promote and support music and theatre programs
WHAT: Cerritos College will celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Performing Arts Center
with a ceremony on March 6.
The $80-million project is funded by Measure G Bond dollars and will be located in the center of the campus immediately south of Falcon Square. The 70,000-gross-square-foot facility will replace the College’s aging Burnight Theatre.
The new Performing Arts Center will provide a 450-seat state-of-the-art theatre, a smaller black box performance area, and support spaces. The building will also house the Music Department’s instructional labs, lecture halls, band rooms, practice rooms, and faculty offices.
Functioning as a cultural hub for the campus and greater communities, the new Performing Arts Center will provide a creative learning environment for students in the theatre arts and music programs, and an entertainment venue for the community.
Construction is expected to be completed in September 2021.
WHEN: Wednesday, March 6 at 4:30 p.m.
WHERE: Performing Arts Center construction site (north of Parking Lot 10)
