ALPOLIC Project: Virginia Tech Masonic Amphitheater

Designed, fabricated, and installed by a student team at Virginia Tech, the Masonic Amphitheater in Clifton Forge, Virginia, provides a public park and performance space for the rural Appalachian community. Organized by design/buildLAB, a third year architecture studio at Virginia Tech, 16 undergraduate students were asked to work with the community to plan and submit individual design proposals. Once received, a master plan was then devised as a convergence of each student’s proposition. For the interior, ALPOLIC panels in four attractive finishes were CNC-routed to clad the underside of the structure.
