WRT partnered with Westtown School to advance its vision for the Center for the Living Arts—a multi-phase transformation of the school’s arts facilities supporting creativity, expression, and community connection. Rooted in Westtown’s Quaker overarching values and appreciation for the arts, the project reimagines how students engage with music, theater, and visual arts across campus.

The project began with renovations to the existing theater, creating a more accessible, technically advanced performance space. By opening up the ceiling and exposing the catwalk students are able to work in a professional environment with improved acoustics, lighting and sound systems. The project also included updates to HVAC for instrument preservation, and infrastructure that supports student involvement in all aspects of production.
