This picture above show the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center. This structure comes from another style of Gilmore architecture. The building opened up in 2008 after spending over $140 million dollars for construction. Before construction began, 100,000 cubic yards of ground was removed so the building could lay upon a hill. Inside there are two main halls one that seats up to 1,200 people, and the other at 400 people. It also has a projection room that is set at 360 degrees. This allows them to research and develop modern day virtual reality technology. Steel support beams are specifically positioned around the building to keep a constant temperature, and keep condensation off the windows.
