Arts center unveils plans

A new home for the Lawrence Arts Center is on its way to becoming a reality after last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting.
City commissioners took a peek at preliminary designs and sent them to the Historic Resources Commission for review.
Ann Evans, Lawrence Arts Center executive director, said the center's board of directors was excited about the preliminary design.
"We love it," Evans said
Marilyn Dobski, arts center board member, presented the preliminary plans to the City Commission.
She said the board and arts center staff would continue to work with the architect to finalize the plans.
The new building is being developed in accord with the Downtown 2000 redevelopment
project for the 900 block of New Hampshire Street. The center will be located near the middle of the east side of the block.
east side of town. Downtown 2000 consists of both commercial and public projects including retail, office and apartment space, as well as public parking and the new arts center. Dale Glenn, from Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects, worked on the arts center design and said he was comfortable with the direction the project was taking.
"It needs to have an identity of its own," he said. "I think it will set itself apart as an arts center."
The three-level building will be about 46,000 square feet, Glenn said. Plans include a performance stage, galleries, a ceramics studio and dance halls.
Evans said that the new center would quadruple the gallery space from its current home at the former Carnegie Library, 200 W. Ninth St.
Although the library has been home to the arts center for about 25 years, the additional space is much needed, Evans said.
The building's cost is about $6.6 million, $3.6 million of which the city will pay. The rest is the responsibility of the arts center.
"It needs to have an identity of its own.I think it will set itself apart as an arts center."

Evans said that about half of the $3 million that was needed had already been raised and that fund-raising efforts were continuing.
The total investment in the Downtown 2000 project is about $27 million, with about $17 million being invested by the city for infrastructure, parking and the arts center.
The rest of the roughly $10 million will be invested by private developers led by Lawrence businessman Jeff Shmalberg.

Mayor Erv Hodges said that design plans for the arts center would probably be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission at its Oct. 21 meeting.

Evans said that if all went as planned, work could begin on the project sometime next summer.
