Goddard Center Renovation & Expansion

Goddard Center

Ardmore, OK

The $9.3M Goddard Center Renovation & Expansion included two separate structures: the single-story Merrick Building, which has classroom space for artmaking and local camps, and the Goddard Performing Arts Center (PAC). Phase I of the project included 9,300 square feet of new and renovated spaces, including a gallery, catering kitchen, ADA-compliant bathrooms and exits, lobby, gift shop, two wet bars, and an IT room. Phase 2 involved the remodel of the Art Studio building (5,430 square feet) and the renovation of the fire and safety systems, new floors, walls, doors, and technology improvements for graphic arts, and the addition of storage space for the Ardmore Little Theater. The project revitalized a community landmark that was more than 50 years old, transforming the aging facility into a state-of-the-art cultural destination that will enrich the arts landscape for the next 50 years and beyond.
