Project Description
Under the vision of the PS/21 Board of Directors, a 107 acre abandoned orchard parcel just north of the Village of Chatham has been transformed into an environmentally friendly venue for performance based art in the Hudson Valley . The process of permitting and approval in the Town of Chatham took over four years. The project is occurring in two phases, with Phase I consisting of an outdoor performance venue located under a tent, and Phase II, scheduled to be open in 2010, consisting of a state of the art performance theater. Construction activities for Phase I began late in 2005 with Phase I of PS/21 opening for a 2006 summer season.
Services Provided
Comprehensive site development services have been provided for the planning, design and construction of the project. Environmental Planning and Permitting under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) was completed; the Town required an Environmental Impact Statement be prepared. Design and analysis for the EIS included preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis, Visual Resource Assessment, Stormwater Management Plan, and wetland delineation. In addition, a detailed Noise Impact Analysis, including field simulation and monitoring of the proposed sounds generated at the performance tent, was prepared. Site planning was
completed in conjunction with
a landscape architect. Project management services for the permitting, including coordination with a large team consisting of engineers, attorneys and landscape architects, as well as construction management services for Phase I were also provided. |
