Utah Shakespearean Festival - Southern Utah University
Cedar City, Utah
Eaton Architecture has been working with the Utah Shakespearean Festival since inception of this idea which blossomed in the mid-1990’s. Our efforts have included Budgeting, Programming, Planning and Conceptual pre-design, Design Development and Construction Documents. We have also worked to assist the Festival in keeping interest alive for the project by completing the architectural programming for several key elements of the project, including the Scenery Studio, the new Adams Theatre, the Costume Shop, and the Central Plant Facility. The State of Utah, a partner with the Utah Shakespearen Festival, selected Bob Eaton as the team leader for the final design processes to value engineer and begin construction administration of the production facility once fully funded for construction.

Kingsbury Hall Renovation
University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah
Over the years wear and tear had aged the interior and exterior throughout Kingsbury Hall. Our solution included the removal of the original stage and installation of new stage house and two levels of support facilities. The existing auditorium and lobby spaces were seismically upgraded and re-plastered to match existing details. All house seating was repaired, repainted and re-cushioned. HVAC and electrical was analyzed and replaced to provide chilled air cooling for the first time to Kingsbury. Exterior work included new roofing and copper flashings. Terra-cotta masonry was assessed and repaired or replaced as required. At the building front, a plaza and new public entrance stairs was added to provide for ADA accessibility for the public. A photographic retrospective gallery was added to the upper level mezzanine to serve as interesting yet additional lobby area.
