ABOUT THE AHMANSON AUDITORIUM AT ARTCENTER
Darin Johnstone Architects (DJA) reimagined the Ahmanson Auditorium located in the ArtCenter College of Design’s (ArtCenter) iconic, Craig Ellwood-designed “bridge” building that was completed in 1977. ArtCenter’s commitment to DEI and the timing of the 30-year anniversary of ADA legislation in 2020 were the impetus that drove a complete reconfiguration of the more than 3,000-square-foot auditorium into a 214-seat, premier cinematic experience and high-functioning educational space at the College. The Ahmanson Auditorium renovation project was spearheaded by alumnus Snyder and funded by generous donors including The Ahmanson Foundation, The Fletcher Jones Foundation, and The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation. For more information about the recently completed state of the art renovation of the Ahmanson Auditorium, read this article.
