The University of Pennsylvania commissioned Holland Architects Ltd to convert an old dentist's office and dark open space to a bright theater set design shop with classrooms and offices.

Along with the renovations to the space, an additional entrance was required to provide code and ADA compliance. An approximately 20' by 20' addition with an elevator and stairs was designed to function as a main entrance.

Both interior and exterior renovations were completed in early 1998.

Services included complete HVAC and power displacement, sprinklers for storage of set materials and costumes, offices, costume shop, and an electrical shop.
