MARYVILLE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER | ADDITIONS

Location: MARYVILLE R-II School District

Size: 20,500 SF

cost: $7,800,000

iDS was hired by the Maryville R-II School District to assist with the design of significant additions to Maryville High School. In addition to the design, iDS spearheaded the successful bond campaign which was approved by the voters in April of 2014.

The focal point for the Maryville High School project was the addition of a new cutting edge performing arts center (PAC). This center puts the fine arts at MHS front and center and on full display. The 20,000 square foot PAC features a 700 seat auditorium that is used for a multitude of functions throughout the year. The space is finely tuned acoustically to provide optimal acoustics for both music and the spoken word. A full fly space, multiple catwalks, top notch rigging and lighting, as well as a recessed orchestra pit with safety netting, adorn the performance space.

Along with the auditorium, the center features a beautifully appointed pre-function space with concessions, ticket window, and restrooms, a functional scene shop, and performer amenities. All of these features make this facility one of the finest in the state.
