Cerritos Center Lauded for Design

The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts and architects Barton Myers Associates have won raves from two organizations recognizing the center for its architectural design.

The center was one of five theaters nationwide to receive a 1994 Honor Award for excellence from the United States Institute of Theater Technology, which hailed it as “the most sophisticated project we’ve seen in terms of architecture, technology and urban design.”

The center also won the 1994 Kaufman and Broad Award from the Los Angeles Business Council earlier this month. The award, granted to two public facilities annually, recognizes the center’s aesthetics.
