The groundbreaking for the new Queen Anne Academic Center was held last week. The $80M, 170,000 SF project will provide Prince George's Community College with space to improve, and transform the curriculums of Music, Theatre, Speech, and Television, Radio, and Film.

Beyond standard offices and classrooms, the building will feature an 800-seat theatre, a 250-seat proscenium theatre, a 200-seat black box studio, instructional theater and educational technology labs, flexible performance and instructional spaces, radio, television and film broadcast and production labs, a 125-seat recital hall, music band and rehearsal space, dance studios, and an art gallery.

The project was designed to achieve LEED Gold certification. Henry Adams provided the MEP engineering design.
