ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Spillman Farmer architects completes ArtsQuest Center for Performing Arts on former Bethlehem steel brownfield
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation, based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was one of the most powerful companies of the Industrial Revolution. While the Bethlehem plant closed its operations in 1995, the iconic 285ft blast furnaces still stand. Today, these historic ruins preside over the largest privately owned brownfield in the US, which is now being transformed into a dynamic, sustainable, and livable mixed-use community. Anchoring the redevelopment at the foot of the historic blast furnaces is the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks.
The ArtsQuest Center is a hybrid building: part performance space, exhibition venue, art cinema, education center, and cultural landmark. Its 68,000 sq ft of space includes a 450-seat venue for live musical performance, a two-screen state-of-the-art cinema, and a number of multifunctional performance and community venues. The building plays a critical role in the creation of vibrant public space in the urban core, hosting over 300 live performances a year, daily art cinema screenings, indoor and outdoor concerts, and arts festivals throughout the year.
