About

After survey results showed a preference for a Performing Arts Center, construction on one began in the 2015-2016 School year. Costing around 14 Million U.S. Dollars to construct, it has changed contracters two times and is currently underway to be finished by the end of the 2017-2018 school year, later than promised.

The Performing Arts Center will be utilized by classes of the 5000 building and potentially by other third party users. The building was financed via the same Prop P funds made available for the building of Sage Creek High School itself[1].

The center was already being booked before even being completed due to the planned closure of the Carlsbad Community Cultural Arts Center.

History

Planning

A number of project proposals appear to have been created for the PAC[2][3], but ultimately Rachlin Partners[4] design was the one chosen.

Construction

The Performing Arts Center view from a drone in December 2017.

Demolition of the stairways began as school was getting out in the 2015-2016 school year[5].

The demolition would later remove part of the entry staircase, the handicap ramp, the Grass Hill, and the wall next to the 5000 building.

Ribbon Cutting

On June 4th, 2018, the PAC opened to the public with a ribbon cutting held at 3:00pm.
