Bjarke Ingels Group<\/a> has unveiled designs for the new Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville<\/a>. Designed in collaboration with William Rawn Associates<\/a> and HASTINGS Architecture<\/a>, the 307,000-square-foot facility will replace the center\u2019s current downtown location and accommodate a range of performing arts institutions, including the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and Nashville Repertory Theatre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scheme comprises four primary performance venues<\/a>: a large Broadway theater, a dedicated opera and dance hall, a flexible black box theater, and a cabaret space. Additional facilities include rehearsal studios, classrooms, and public gathering areas.<\/p>\n

The building is clad in a reflective facade composed of aluminum<\/a> tubes, changing appearance from different viewpoints. Arched openings reference the form of a theater curtain, partially revealing interior activity. Inside, a central atrium connects multiple lobbies, including a river-facing ground-level space and an elevated lobby aligned with the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.<\/p>\n

Interior performance spaces are designed to support varied audience configurations and sightlines, with adaptable staging and seating arrangements. Public amenities include a rooftop terrace overlooking the river and skyline, a transparent rehearsal space, and a sensory room.<\/p>\n

Landscape architecture by OLIN<\/a> integrates outdoor performance areas and public spaces, linking the building to the surrounding waterfront. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with completion anticipated in 2030.<\/p>\n
