When the project team for TSX Broadway—a partial demolition and significant renovation and rebuild of a theater district tower in New York City—wanted to perform a truly challenging feat of engineering, it called in Tony Mazzo at Urban Foundation/Engineering. Project developer L&L Holdings had a vision for the 110-year-old landmark Palace Theater that required it to be elevated 30 ft within the renovated tower’s footprint to create space for new street-level retail.
The Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center supports a variety of uses, including theater, children’s theater, dance, music and visual arts for myriad local and national arts groups.
Created to provide a nexus for filmmaking and computational media, the facility features media labs, classrooms, experimental content creation space, a sound stage, post-production editing suites and a 100-seat Dolby Atmos screening theater.
