In this episode of Student Success: Built by Design, our host Jeff Johnson is joined once again by Dr. Joel Peterson, and for this episode they also welcome new guests Matthew Austin, Ben Dalton, and Patrick Goforth to discuss the effect of the design of performing arts spaces on academic performance and community. Matthew is a design principal for architecture and urbanism with HGA Architects. Ben is partner and design lead with Miller Hull Architects, and Patrick is design manager with PCL Construction Services. They examine how the built environment supports Student Success through performing and visual arts projects funded by the San Diego Community College District’s $3.5 billion Measure HH. This episode they talk about applying Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to arts facilities, balancing foundational requirements like safety, clean air, accessibility, durability, and maintainability with higher goals such as belonging, beauty, meaning, and self-actualization. Four case studies are highlighted: renovations at the Educational Cultural Complex and City College’s Seville Theatre, modernization and expansion of Mesa College’s Performing Arts Center with visual arts integration, and a new Miramar College Performing Arts and Humanities complex including a highly flexible black box theater with advanced acoustic technology and “third space” community areas.

A performing arts building is designed to help transfer emotion and help these students to discover new forms of confidence. That's a fundamentally different design challenge. A classroom is supporting human instruction. These buildings are supporting music, dance, theater, public speaking, and visual arts, every form of human expression, not just instruction. The buildings must comfortably support everything from quiet individual practice to energetic rehearsals to performances with hundreds of people. And in that respect, these buildings become instruments themselves. As opposed to a library where the mechanical and acoustical systems stay hidden in the background, in these buildings, these technical systems become part of the educational experience. How the arts build courage, connection and belonging13:35 [Matthew Austin] I think in supporting the lower end of Maslow's pyramid, that is really important, and that happens every day. At the high end of the self-performance, it's also we're putting on performances. These students are—that are like high-end athletes. And so there's a team or a company sense at the end of the performance. So if you go to a musical theater, for example, all of the disciplines might be represented in that one moment. There's oratory skills. There's actors connecting with the audience from an emotional level. There's visual arts in the stage craft. There's musicians in the orchestra pit that are setting the stage and the mood for each scene. And so it's in those moments where not only do the students need to be courageous, but the more they're able to work together, the more they're able to come as one entity or one company, that really shines in that final performance. We're excited about it from both ends, being able to bring these different disciplines into one structure. What happens when a theater brings everyone closer?19:41 [Ben Dalton] When we set off to design the main theater at Mesa, we wanted to blur the line between performer and audience. Rather than placing everyone sort of mechanically in rows looking at a distant stage, we want to gather people around the performance so that the room itself becomes part of the experience. So when we stop thinking about rows and seats, we imagine people gathering around a storyteller. We imagine a campfire experience. And that simple shift changes the entire character of the room, where every seat matters. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for ...
