Miami, FL

Since the Miami-Dade County Auditorium opened its doors in 1951, it has served as the center for showcasing the diversity of Miami’s cultural life and most recently, as a hub for celebrating the Hispanic arts community.

The facility is currently used in the following configurations:
Main Stage: 2,372-seat theater that can host major dance, theater and music performances;
Orchestra: 1,489-seat orchestra theatre that can host large dance, theatre and music performances;
Mid-Stage: gives mid-sized organizations an ideal setting to showcase their work by accommodating up to 450 patrons and is well-suited for small concerts, dance and theatre; and
On Stage Black Box: most dynamic of all spaces, both the audience and performers share the stage of the Auditorium in an innovative studio theater for more intimate and often, cutting edge shows.

H3/Arquitectonica was selected by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs to provide planning, design, construction documents, and construction administration services for the renovation and upgrade of the Miami-Dade County Auditorium and to perform the necessary renovations, upgrades, and expansion required to bring this iconic cultural institution into the twenty-first century and have the facility meet and/or exceed applicable building codes and modern technological standards.
