The City Performance Hall boasts a 750-seat theatre, a grand lobby, event room and back of house facilities which include an enclosed garden and educational and meeting spaces. The green room area for performers has two star dressing areas and a private meditation garden located just outside to help prepare for performances.

Using concrete as the primary construction material allowed for a wealth of design options as it can be formed into different shapes as well as painted and stained. In this instance, the structure is composed of a long sweeping roof flanked by two stories of cast-in-place concrete walls, and it is organized as a series of linear pavilions, capped by varying ribbon-like roof forms.
Additional unique features of the building include a bank of floor-to-ceiling windows in the main lobby offering a spectacular view of the Arts District and a LED light curtain in the primary performance area.
