Performing Arts Center

 
PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Dr. Phillips Orlando Performing Arts Center (DPAC) will provide a unique, world-class destination to showcase the region’s performance groups, including the Orlando Philharmonic, Orlando Ballet, Orlando Opera, Festival of Orchestras and other regional groups and touring shows.

The PAC will include:
– 2,800 seat Amplified Hall for large scale productions

Performing Arts Center Concept Plan
– 1,800 seat Acoustical Hall for concert, opera, dance and drama
– 300 seat Multi-Purpose Hall for small groups
– Rehearsal Hall
– Common areas, including plaza, lobby, box office, catering and food service, offices, administrative and service areas
– Education space

The project has developed benchmarks for halls, façade, public space and lobby quality. The planned location is a 2-block, 9-acre site bordered by Orange Avenue, South Street, Rosalind Avenue and Anderson Street. Plans call for the PAC to be surrounded by commercial mixed-use development.

Estimated design and construction cost for the PAC is $354 million, plus $71 million for land contribution/acquisition, road and site improvements. Design, construction and operation of the Performing Arts Center will be managed by Orlando Performing Arts Center, Inc. (OPAC), a non-profit corporation, with oversight from the City. Design is expected to take 22 months and construction about 34 months with a target opening in 2012.
