Copley Symphony Hall
Administrative Offices Remodel
San Diego, Calif.

Barnhart, Inc. provided general contracting services to complete a $2.6 million remodel to the San Diego Copley Symphony Hall. The remodeled Copley office is located in the western portion of the 1920’s Historic theatre which was encapsulated when the Symphony Hall Tower Building was constructed in the 1970’s. The offices encompass three stories in a complicated over/under plan with the Symphony Hall itself.

The project scope included the construction of a new entry, which was designed through the old box office window, and the addition of an elevator, which was included to provide access to the office space and lower/ upper floors of the Symphony Hall. A new interior stair between the third and fourth floors was also added to provide access to the office space. All interior spaces were stripped of existing materials and brought back to the bare concrete structure. Interiors were then re-built to provide a contemporary office space with a sophisticated “loft” feel. New office space features cherry wood, exposed structure and mechanical ducting which embodies the open culture of the administration.
