Project Overview
Up to five artworks will be commissioned for the
renovation of The Pasadena Center, comprised of the historic Civic
Auditorium, two convention and meeting buildings on each side of the
Auditorium and a sequence of large open spaces. Pasadena Center is
located in downtown Pasadena and serves as the southern terminus of
the Civic Center axis, a classic Beaux Arts plan implemented in the
1920s. In addition to the Auditorium, other historically significant
buildings include City Hall and City Library. All three buildings
are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are a
major and treasured part of Pasadena’s heritage.
New construction will enlarge the two Convention
Center buildings that flank the Auditorium and replace their current
façade with an arcade characterized by an inviting and open
presence. The plaza in front of the Auditorium will be expanded and
the public spaces between and surrounding the buildings of the
Pasadena Center will also be redesigned to encourage greater usage
by the general public and Center visitors.
