ANF Group, Inc., a full-service construction firm providing construction management, general contracting, development, and design-build services, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the general contract for building a new 15,000-square-foot ground up theater arts building on the University of Miami’s Coral Gables Campus.
Currently in pre-construction, the 2-story building will feature a theatre, concessions, wardrobe and dressing rooms, acting and dance classrooms, voice studios, a student lounge, and supporting spaces. A 1,000-square-foot IT Hub/Data Room will also be located within the space program of the new Theater Arts building. Designed by Mateu Architecture, the project is expected to break ground in the third quarter of 2022.
“We are very excited to have been selected to build the new Theater Arts building at UM, such a vibrant and diverse academic institution in the South Florida community,” said Al Fernandez, president of ANF Group. “We are honored to be working with one of America’s top universities on this extraordinary project.”
