It’s show time at American River College

The second phase expansion of the Fine Arts Building at American River College in Sacramento, Calif., is under way. Designed by the local office of HGA Architects and Engineers, the 26,000-sf project will double the size of the existing facility with rehearsal rooms, a black box theater, a recording suite, music practice rooms, and an expanded lobby. The first phase renovated the 360-seat theater by adding a fly tower over the existing stage, a scene shop, a recording studio, faculty office and practice rooms, and mechanical and electrical upgrades. Completion: January 2010.
