Arkansas Arts Center
Little Rock, Arkansas
This expansion involved the addition of 22,000 SF of new gallery space, a new
150 seat "First Impressions" Restaurant, additional administrative office space,
new collections vaults, an education lecture hall, and various support elements.
The entire facility is oriented to a new main entrance at 10th and Commerce
Streets. Visitors enter a new portico entrance via a circular entrance drive.
A fountain and statue are at the center of the circular drive, with decorative
trees defining the outer perimeter of the drive. Current administrative office
space totaling 8,000 SF was remodeled. Interior design services were performed
for both new and remodeled spaces, with selection of new flooring, office furniture
and gift shop fixtures. The Arts Center's operations were not interrupted by
the construction period.
