Recognition:
ABC Alabama First-Place Excellence in Construction Award
Brasfield & Gorrie was selected by Red Mountain Theatre Company to complete the renovation and adaptive reuse of a historic downtown Birmingham building to house their new arts campus.
The new facility will allow the theatre company to house all of its operations in one location rather than relying on multiple venues. The project includes 72,000 sq ft of renovations and the adaptive reuse of a former warehouse and a 1900s-era bakery. The campus includes two theaters, rehearsal spaces, classrooms, administrative offices, a bar, a donor lounge, a recording studio, a green room, production offices, back-of-the-house facilities, and storage spaces.
The team self-performed concrete structural foundations and slabs for the theatre’s stage, orchestra pit, tiered seating on grade and risers, and lobby, as well as topping slab throughout the new education building.
