Arcadia, CA, (Feb. 5, 2013) – A 60-year old wish for the community of Arcadia has
finally come true with the opening of Arcadia Unified School District’s new $20
million Performing Arts Center.
It was the
District’s intent to build an auditorium in 1952 when the high school was
originally constructed, but there was no funding. Due to the passage of Bond Measure I in 2006, the District
finally had a chance to fulfill this community’s enduring dream.

"We are exceptionally pleased to have realized the
dream of providing our students, faculty and community members with a world class
performing arts venue that will become a home for the arts in Arcadia,” said
AUSD Superintendent Dr. Joel Shawn. “All aspects of the arts are an
essential component of a rigorous education for our students and a healthy,
vibrant community."
McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., one of Southern
California’s foremost building companies specializing in educational
facilities, served as general contractor/developer for the facility using
Lease/Leaseback project delivery.
