BURBANK THEATRE RENOVATION

The renovation of the nearly 80-year-old Luther Burbank Auditorium, was the first major capital improvement project of the District’s Measure H bond. The $28,000,000 project  was completed in December 2019 and included complete renovation of the interior of the original main auditorium to a new 400-seat auditorium, with improved sight lines and full ADA access. Improvements to back-of-house production spaces include a renovated prop shop and full costume production facility, in addition to two new classrooms. The project includes a new “Studio Theater,” a multi-function flexible space that will be used as a 200-seat teaching classroom, a black box theater, and a movie theater. The exterior shell of the building has been preserved, but the interior spaces are completely modern, allowing the theater faculty more flexibility in the types of programs they offer. The overhead lighting and audio-visual equipment is state-of-the-art and built to match the standards that SRJC students will expect to find when they work in the industry. 

 

The project was designed by the award-winning architecture firm Mark Cavagnero Associates, with theater consulting provided by the Shalleck Group. Local firm TLCD Architecture served as the Executive Architect for the project, with Wright Contracting from Santa Rosa as the General Contractor. Harris and Associates provided construction management services.

QUINN CENTRAL PLANT PROJECT

The new Quinn Central Plant replaces the old cogeneration plant which burnt down in 2015 with high efficiency heating and cooling to numerous campus buildings and facilities, including Bailey Hall, Maggini Hall, the new Lindley Center for STEM Education building, Barnett Hall, Tauzer Hall and the Quinn Swim Center with the new 50-meter pool. The central plant uses specialized heat recovery chillers which allows the college to use electricity very efficiently to heat buildings and pools thereby reducing natural gas usage to only the coldest of days. The plant is also being showcased as a living lab for students and staff to view and understand how central plants work and the engineering behind it. Annual utility cost savings of $150,000.00 are expected. The Central Plant Project will prevent the college from installing a chiller and boiler per building thereby having an estimated payback of 9 years. Additionally this project helps mitigate the college’s risk to rising electricity & natural gas costs.
