KENNEDY CENTER RENOVATION
The Renovation
During 2016-17 The Terrace Theater at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts underwent a 16-month renovation intended to update the theater and facilities, and enhance the overall guest experience. The Terrace Theater is the busiest theater within The Kennedy Center, hosting up to 180 performances each year ranging from music, jazz, dance, film, lectures, and more.
All materials were selected to enhance the acoustic integrity of the space, including seating, carpet, and the wood paneling. The Veneer Source was honored to work in tandem with Quinn Evans Architects & JBI Interiors/Parisi Interiors to provide all of the highly figured, FSC certified, quartered English Sycamore for the curved paneling throughout the theater. We are in awe of the stunning and innovative woodwork featured on this project. Take a virtual journey through the theater below and make sure you visit it in person when visiting Washington D.C.
