Alan Harvey Theater

BACKGROUND

The School Board passed a resolution on January 22, 2014 for the purpose of placing a bond initiative on the June 2014 ballot in order to fund a renovation to the nearly 40-year old Alan Harvey Theater at 800 Magnolia Avenue. At the same time, fundraising plans for a capital campaign to supplement revenues from the bond are underway.

As the primary venue for assemblies and performing arts at Piedmont and Millennium High schools, as well as providing space for the middle and elementary schools, broader educational, community and civic needs, it is one of the District’s most heavily used facilities. Decades of steady use have taken their toll, and the facility is now in need of significant repairs and upgrades.

Earlier this year, the district hired Quatrocchi Kwok Architects to examine the building’s integrity, prepare preliminary drawings and estimate the costs to repair the building. Working from initial drawings by Havens designer Mark Becker, QKA’s resulting design was developed, reviewed and enthusiastically endorsed by a multi-stakeholder committee.
