Performance Venues

NYU’s transformational evolution into a top-tier global research university demanded a visionary expansion in the heart of Greenwich Village. To support its growing academic and creative energy, we partnered with KieranTimberlake and NYU to create the 735,000-square-foot John A. Paulson Center—a dynamic, multi-use hub replacing the Coles Sports Center.

A performing arts center was a key component of the master plan to rebuild the World Trade Center site following the attacks on September 11, 2001. The Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) provides 135,000 square feet of space for theater, dance, music, film, and opera in Lower Manhattan, directly adjacent to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, another Page project. 

The Irish Arts Center (IAC) is a home for cultural exchange with Ireland, a place for the development of new productions, a venue that supports cross-collaborations between American and Irish artists in many disciplines, and a center for educational programs that serve both the Irish American and larger community.

The Oprah Winfrey Theater at the National Museum of African American History and Culture is more than a performance space—it’s a cultural landmark. Tucked below ground, it opens directly into the lower concourse of the museum’s History Galleries, accessed through a striking circular steel staircase. Designed for versatility, the 355-seat theater features a 50-foot-wide proscenium stage, a deep auditorium, and soaring ceilings up to 27 feet, creating an immersive experience for audiences and performers. 

Invisible Worlds is an immersive and interactive 360-degree science-and-art experience in the new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation that offers a breathtakingly beautiful view into how all life on Earth is connected. Invisible Worlds invites visitors into a wide, oval space with 23-foot-high walls, a mirrored ceiling, and an interactive floor. The venue’s 16 projectors provide a resolution of more than 100 million pixels and are complemented by 62 speakers accompanying the visuals with a soundtrack derived from nature and sonified data.
