Work on the first-ever LEED Platinum theater in the United States has commenced in New York’s Hudson River Valley. By summer 2026, the new 14,850-square-foot permanent home for the Hudson Valley Shakespeare company from Studio Gang, the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, will welcome guests to open air performances on its donated 98-acre campus in Garrison. Nelson Byrd Woltz is included for the landscape program of the surrounding site, which had been previously been used as a golf course. 

Jeanne Gang says: "The architecture weaves in elements of the natural environment to create a unique indoor-outdoor setting for the company’s open-air productions and to offer an unparalleled theater experience."

Also in the Hudson Valley, HWKN is designing a new expansion of the CCS Bard Library and Archives and ARO is planning a mass timber visitor center at  the Frederic Church Center for Art and Landscape at the Olana State Historic Site with Nelson Byrd Woltz. Studio Gang is currently looking to hire a Licensed Interior Designer in its Chicago office via Archinect Jobs.
