Performing Arts Center
Higher Education · $90M+
Complex performance venue integrating specialty systems, acoustics, and extensive user-driven program requirements.
01 — The Challenge
A performing arts center required alignment across cost, schedule, and complex technical systems, while incorporating extensive user group input.
- Cost pressure from specialty systems and evolving scope
- Schedule impacts from ongoing user input
- Coordination challenges across technical systems
- Misalignment between expectations and constraints
02 — The Structuring Approach
Early coordination aligned program, cost, and technical systems.
- Facilitated structured user group input
- Integrated specialty consultants and trade partners
- Evaluated systems for constructability and cost
- Coordinated design with schedule and procurement
03 — Outcome
- Improved alignment between program and project constraints
- Increased cost and schedule certainty
- Reduced risk of late-stage changes
- Defined path for coordinated execution
Complexity was not resolved later — it was structured early through aligned input, coordinated systems, and disciplined decision-making.
Project experience reflects work performed by the Tenon team in prior roles.
