The nationally recognized Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) chose Howard CDM to build their first ground-up facility. The two-story, 62,100 SF Dance, Music and Science Center was a 14-month project comprised of:

• Fourteen dance studios
• Eight state-of-the-art science labs
• Three instrumental music and choir rehearsal rooms
• Sixteen practice rooms
• Offices, dressing rooms and storage

The building’s design blends the industrial looks of an exposed CMU exterior, exposed decking and polished concrete floors with softer, more artistic features including a sleek glass lantern entryway lit with decorative pendent light fixtures and warm, rich hardwood dance studio floors.
