This newly designed facility replaces a legacy venue and meets the evolving needs of modern productions, community programs, and educational initiatives. The design reflects the festival’s continued evolution as a premier classical repertory company.
RDH was engaged early in the design process to support the project’s sustainability and energy performance goals. Our team provided building enclosure consulting, facade engineering, energy modeling, and LEED certification support throughout design and construction. We also conducted detailed reviews of the enclosure, mechanical, and energy systems, along with construction field testing and post-construction verification to confirm that the building was performing as intended.
In the field, RDH performed air and water infiltration testing on the custom curtain wall system to verify its airtightness and weather resistance, critical to long-term durability, occupant comfort, and overall performance. Energy modeling played a key role in informing early design decisions and optimizing energy performance.
