SPAC Concession Improvements
Saratoga Performing Arts Center Concession Improvements

“[SPAC is] a 53-year-old facility with hundreds of thousands visiting every year. You have to be renovating and upgrading. For me the concessions area was really something that had to get done because when you have bathrooms functioning at 50% and you have shows that can range from 5,000 to 25,000 you’ve got a real problem.

 

“I’m a big believer in maintaining the sanctity of the park, the park-like feel of things, restoring the sightlines. I want people to really feel the magic of being in the park.  This jewel that we have. [SPAC is] the perfect confluence of man-made beauty and natural beauty. In my mind there’s no other cultural organization anywhere I can think of that melds those two things.”  Elizabeth Sobol, President and CEO of SPAC.  (Source)

CLA SITE Teamed with Hyman Hayes Architects, MLB Construction Services, Live Nation, SPAC, and New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation on the redesign of the concession area at the Historic Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs. The project was progressed as a design-build project.

CLA SITE provided full site/civil engineering services including construction documents for demolition, layout, grading, drainage, utilities, site detailing, stormwater design, water/wastewater infrastructure and planting design. CLA SITE also prepared the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and performed all SWPPP inspections during construction. The new facilities will provide expanded dining space for concert goers, new VIP Banquet Facilities and expanded Restroom Facilities.
