Valor Christian High School Center for Culture and Influence

The Valor Center for Culture and Influence was an addition to the Valor Christian High School campus, built by Saunders and reflective of a collegiate campus.

The Center for Culture and Influence, an 82,500-square-foot, three-story performing arts center and classroom building, includes 3D and 2D art studios, photography studios, several dance rooms, set-building, a broadcasting suite, a black-box theater, band/music rooms, and a recording studio. The signature spaces of the building include a 726-seat, two-story theater and associated pre-function/intermission lobbies and concession areas.

The theatre features a full-fly tower with a nearly 30-line set rigging, an orchestra pit and lift, full catwalk system, spotlight rooms, control rooms, and a performance and variable drapery package. In terms of function, performance level, features, and capacity, this theater was in the top five facilities in the entire State of Colorado at the time of completion.

This project received LEED Silver Certification in 2015
