Austin River Park Music Venue

PROJECT IN PROGRESS

Austin River Park Music Venue rises at 1900 Crossing Place in Austin as a 63,000 SF event and performance hall for Westfield, sharing a site with the F2 River Park development. The 4,000-capacity venue fills a long-standing gap in the city’s live music scene, bridging the space between smaller clubs and large arenas with a mid-sized stage purpose-built for touring concerts, conferences, and private events. Works Progress Architecture designed a distinctive, armadillo-inspired form, with the main performance hall at its center and front-of-house and back-of-house support spaces around it. The structural system combines steel framing, steel joist and decking, cast-in-place concrete with architectural formliners, and lightweight insulating concrete. The envelope features metal wall and soffit panels, TPO roofing, automatic smoke vents, and both sheet and bentonite waterproofing. Interior work brings together concrete masonry, glass unit masonry, decorative metalwork, cold-formed metal framing, fire-resistive joint systems, and general commissioning.
