PRESENTATION
ABOUT
With the 50th anniversary of the
Century Center nearly upon us,
numerous efforts have studied
expansion options.
The purpose of this presentation is to
share a range of options from
demolition to a significant investment
as the board and stakeholders
determine the appropriate path
forward.

CHALLENGES
SPACE CONFIGURATION
AESTHETIC
OPERATIONS
COSTS
The current configuration is limited in its functionality and
available rental spaces for customers.
The myriad of bricks present as a cold, rigid, and monotone
environment.
The building layout results in challenges in servicing more than
one client concurrently. Additionally, the Art Museum currently
occupies some of the best space in the building.
With an aging building that is nearly 50 years old, the design
and strategy is less relevant today. Opportunity and
reputational costs exceed the real cost of doing business.
