Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts

The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts is a landmark cultural destination featuring Verizon Hall, the Perelman Theater, and multiple performance and event spaces beneath a dramatic glass-and-steel barrel vault. The project’s signature architectural features include expansive glass curtain walls, a four-story vaulted roof, and a turntable stage that allows the Perelman Theater to transition between recital and theatrical configurations. Verizon Hall was designed as a world-class concert venue with seating for 2,500 guests, mahogany interior finishes, advanced broadcasting capabilities, and sophisticated acoustic systems that deliver exceptional sound quality.

LF Driscoll executed the construction of this technically complex performing arts facility, integrating intricate structural, architectural, and acoustical elements to meet the demanding performance requirements of one of the nation’s premier cultural institutions.
