Project Objectives & Notable Features:

This project will provide Oxnard College's largest lecture, auditorium, classroom, and performing arts environment. It has been coupled with a flexible Black-Box Theater to facilitate future growth of the performing arts and college-community interaction. Oxnard College Television and its support space is land-locked in the existing Learning Resources Center while experiencing significant program growth. All of these programs will share common resources by being co-located. The project includes:

• 400-seat multipurpose auditorium;
• 100-seat black-box theater;
• Oxnard College Television Studio, pre-production and post-production facilities;
• Site area set aside for the expansion of the auditorium stage, costume and carpentry shops, additional storage, etc., if program development warrants.

Implementation Strategy:

Per the Facilities Master Plan, this project may provide the anchor facility of a future Arts Complex, which will include music, studio arts, and digital media as the program develops and funding becomes available.
