To get a feel for what the Center will be, peruse these renderings from architect Mark Cavagnero.
Built for Jazz
Built for Jazz
The SFJAZZ Center is being built specifically for jazz music and audiences alike. It will be the first concert hall of its type in the western United States: a freestanding performance venue with flexible seating and staging for artists of every stature.
Designed by award-winning architect Mark Cavagnero and located in San Francisco’s vibrant cultural corridor, the SFJAZZ Center will comprise 35,000 square feet in a transparent, LEED Gold Certified structure. Key features include:
- State-of-the-art auditorium, adjustable from 350 to 700 seats
- 80-seat multi-purpose ensemble room
- Rehearsal spaces & digital learning lab
- Café at sidewalk level
- Ground floor lobby, retail shop and box office
- SFJAZZ administrative offices
Built For Education, Culture, and Community
The SFJAZZ Center will be more than a superb concert hall. Located at Franklin and Fell streets in San Francisco’s vibrant Hayes Valley, the SFJAZZ Center will be a hub of culture, community and commerce for locals and tourists alike. Moreover, it'll be within easy walking distance of Civic Center Station (home to MUNI and BART trains) and served by local bus routes for low-impact transit.
