Set within the Municipal Campus in the City
of Country Club Hills, the Outdoor Amphitheater becomes the focal point
of the campus with its capacity for 1500
patrons. The City is able to host a variety of events ranging from
movie nights to Jazz and Blues concerts, and
large orchestral performances.
The curved roof structures of the two main
buildings provide a direct relationship with
the site's curved shape. The main
stage building is designed with support
spaces flanking the stage to provide
unobstructed views of the performance as well as a view of the
landscaped pond that forms the stage's
natural backdrop.
The support building's curved roof
is similar in appearance to that of the stage
building and contains a lighting and sound control center set
above the public restrooms.
Seating is provided for the patrons in four
areas. First there is the area of
fixed seating
located directly in front of the stage.
Behind the fixed seats is an area of
landscaped lawn seating providing patrons
space to layout a blanket and enjoy the
performance under the open sky.
Flanking the support building on either side are two
structures that provide additional raised
terrace seating and contain storage and
mechanical spaces below. |
