The $21 million Performing Arts Center at Garrett College is the first facility of its kind in Garrett County. Opened in late 2022, the 27,000-SF building project created an event venue to serve both the college and the community. The PAC provides theater, entertainment, and education spaces to be used by Garrett College, local community groups, arts organizations, and county school students. Designs included a 450-seat proscenium theatre, a black box theater, reception venue, a 2,000-SF conference center and recital hall, an outdoor amphitheater, and educational departments for Garrett College. CEI provided full structural, civil, and landscape architecture services for the adaptive reuse of an existing 11,000-SF athletic center and construction of a 16,000-SF addition to accommodate the new performing arts center.
