California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), The Wild Beast
Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design for a single-story pavilion, enclosing 3,200 square feet of space and including a classroom/performance space, and storage areas. The unique design has a curved shell-type structure roof, and 60-foot-wide hangar doors that open to enable the space to be used as an amphitheater.
Additionally, there is an earth berm on two sides of the pavilion, requiring retention of up to seven feet of dirt, along with a small mechanical room adjacent to the pavilion.
