City College of San Francisco (CCSF) revealed last month the design for a three-story performing arts complex at its main Ocean Avenue campus that’s set to feature a 600-seat auditorium, 150-seat studio theater, and 100-seat recital hall along with practice and rehearsal rooms, instructional spaces, offices, and a monumental mural created by one of the most prominent Mexican artists of the 20th century.
Created within an airplane hangar in front of a live audience during the Golden Gate International Exposition, the 10 steel-framed concrete panels comprising Diego Rivera’s towering fresco Pan America Unity (or The Marriage of the Artistic Expression of the North and of the South on this Continent) will be installed—all 60,000 pounds of it—within the building’s glass curtain wall–wrapped lobby, which was specially designed to accommodate the work and maximize its public viewing potential. Seattle-based LMN Architects, joined by local firm TEF Design in the role of architect of record, was commissioned by CCSF for the major campus addition.
