In March 2013 Pease Construction was contracted with The City of Bellevue for the construction of a new 12,000-square-foot Youth Theatre in Bellevue, Washington. The theater includes a flexible black box theater-in-the-round that can be configured to accommodate between 100 and 150 seats. Support facilities include a box office, lobby, “green room,” rehearsal space, storage and outdoor theater capabilities. The new facility is integrated into the park with a green roof providing a natural insulator, resulting in significant energy savings while limiting the impact of stormwater runoff. The facility is be fully accessible and designed to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification standards.
