KAY MEEK ARTS CENTRE West Vancouver, BC

Kay Meek Arts Centre is West Vancouver’s main performing arts venue adjoining West Vancouver Secondary School. The Centre comprises a 500-seat proscenium theatre that hosts local and international productions and a 200-seat studio theatre that doubles as a soundstage and summer venue. The lobby connecting the two theatres contains a public art gallery and community assembly area. A serpentine-shaped glass lobby cascades down the site’s steeply wooded hillside adjacent to a seasonal flowing creek.
