Description

With the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJ PAC), Myers created a multi-building center with theaters, conference rooms, and restaurants to connect existing parts of Newark (a Military Park and the Passaic River) with each other and the new venue. The theaters included the 2700-seat Prudential hall and the 500-seat Victoria Theater. The complex was designed to be an urban revitalization project for downtown Newark.
