This state of the art Performing Arts Facility is located on the Gonzaga University Campus and hosts live music, dance, and theater.
The Performing Arts Center was a legacy gift to the university from Myrtle Woldson, one of Washington’s leading patrons of the arts. It was Myrtle’s bequest that a professional performing arts center, be designed and built in her honor.
Pfeiffer Partners wanted an elegant looking floor, and something warmer than the usual blonde tone often used in auditoriums. The choice fell on Junckers beautiful 22mm Solid hardwood flooring, Beech SylvaRed with a Silk matte lacquer.
The floor system also needed to provide excellent safety and performance to those using the floor, as well withstand the heavy loads of pianos and telescoping seating.
Junckers Clip System, as supplied to many previous Pfeiffer projects, was again, the perfect choice.
