DeVos Center For Arts and Worship
Proscenium arch
The Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Arts and Worship fulfills a long-held vision
for the Grand Rapids Christian Schools - a vision
of a state-of-the-art facility where students can develop and express their artistic
talents and gather in collective worship.
The Center for Arts and Worship is
intended not only to serve the 3,000 students of the Grand Rapids Christian Schools; but also to be a place
for the community to come together for performance and worship.
Site
constraints and a desire for intimacy dictated the unique configuration of the Center
for Arts and Worship. The 1,205-seat auditorium features an internal bowl, which can
accomodate smaller groups on the main floor. The Mezzanine and Balcony
levels bring the audience close to performances. The 5,045-square-foot stage has been
constructed of resilient wood flooring, with a hydraulic orchestra pit lift and a fully
rigged fly loft. Backstage support includes a scene shop, costume storage and a
make-up application area.
