Geelong Arts Centre (Stage 3) | ARM Architecture
Geelong Arts Centre Stage 3 is a $150m centrepiece for the arts and entertainment community of Greater Geelong. It serves as the final component in the revitalisation of the former Geelong Performing Arts Centre, a transformation envisioned in the 2003 Master Plan. ARM Architecture commenced design work on this significant addition in 2019, with the completed project unveiled during a grand gala event on 18 August 2023.
Stage 3 comprises two new stateoftheart venues (a 550seat multifunctional theatre, named the Story House, a 250 seat warehouse style performance space, named the Open House), café, and a full array of backstage amenities and support spaces. All this adding to the existing 875seat Playhouse Theatre and Stage 2 studios, making it the largest regional performing arts centre in the nation.
