Dramatically framed by the mountains and the sea, the City & Borough of Juneau’s proposed Capital Civic Center will become the focal point for artistic expression in the Capital City.
Located downhill from the Alaska State Legislature and Capitol, it will provide one of the first impressions of Alaska to more than one million visitors a year as they approach Juneau by sea.
The Capital Civic Center is in the heart of Juneau’s emerging Aak’w Village District, within walking distance of the Andrew P. Kashavaroff State Library, Archives and Museum, the iconic Walter Soboleff Building, KTOO Public Media Center, the Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall and Tlingit & Haida tribal headquarters, and the Sea Walk, connecting all of downtown Juneau with a lifesize bronze whale sculpture.
The CBJ Assembly approved $2 million for the next phase of the design that would combine a renovated Centennial Hall with a new arts and culture center. Initial design plans include:
- A 299-seat theater
- A visual arts gallery
- A community hall
- An event studio for smaller productions
- A small café and gift shop
- A seminar room for classes and workshops
- Renovated convention and conference rooms
The design features a spacious lobby area/reception hall to welcome visitors, provide for ticket sales and be a gathering place for many functions. Flowing from the lobby is the gift shop – a venue for sales by local artists – a café, and a state-of-the-art gallery.
