Tanger Center Named to BusinessNC’s List of Top Projects

The Tanger Center for the Performing Arts has been named to BusinessNC’s List of NC’s Best New Structures in the category of Arts and Entertainment! The  3,023-seat venue measures 108,260-square-foot facility sits on 4.9 acres at the intersections of North Elm and Lindsay streets and Abe Brenner Place, adjacent to LeBauer Park in downtown Greensboro. The Tanger Center is set to become the focal point of performing arts in the region, hosting nearly 150 events per year including Guilford College’s Bryan Series, Greensboro Symphony Orchestra performances, comedy shows and all types of family entertainment including Broadway and other live theatrical productions. Highlights of the facility include the Schiffman Ring of Light which abuts the ceiling with 60 lights going off, counting down the seconds until showtime; an 8,000-SF lobby with white porcelain tiles and art suspending from the ceiling; and two monumental staircases that lead to the upper level which includes an outdoor terrace and three hospitality suites.

“We could not be more pleased with the performance of Barnhill Contracting on the construction of the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts,” said Greensboro Coliseum managing director Matt Brown. “The level of professionalism and quality of work has been outstanding throughout the entire process, and their highly experienced team of construction professionals have been able to handle every challenge in this complex project. The Tanger Center is a game-changing addition to downtown Greensboro and with Barnhill’s efforts we will be able to deliver a first-class, state-of-the-art performing arts center for the City that will be enjoyed by generations to come.”

Congratulations to Barnhill’s project team including Mike Lutz, Wes Weaver, Allen Walker and Gabriel Ortiz and our design team led by H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture and Osser International.
