MUNROE CENTER for the ARTS ENTRY PAVILION ADDITION SCHEMATIC DESIGN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Munroe Center for the Arts seeks to nurture students and youth through involvement in music, dance, theater, and visual arts. The Center hosts a community gallery, classrooms and affordable studio space for local artists. It also hosts community arts events, including local gatherings and performances. Located on a beautiful tree -lined grounds in Lexington, MA, the Center is housed in a brick and wood building, originally built in 1904 as an elementary school. The MCA has conducted a comprehensive, forward thinking master planning process that will serve the Center and the community for the next 50+ years. The centerpiece is a new fully accessible, gracious entry at the rear of the building; but all aspects of a fully functioning site are being examined. The process is thoughtful and detailed; preliminary presentations to several committees that have interest and/or jurisdiction have been positive. This Schematic Design package represents Phase One of the Master Plan. It includes new indoor and outdoor amenities, such as an amphitheater, outdoor scuplture courts for student work and a full ADA upgrade. A new accessible "front door" entry point and lobby reorients the building and will serve as a nucleus for the Full Build campus.
