The City Commission for the City of Panama City heard presentations on October 15, 2021 from four architecture and engineering firms interested in partnering with the City for the design of the City’s new Performing Arts and Events Center.
Each firm had 45 minutes to highlight the firm, design team, completed architecture projects similar in scope, and how the team will accomplish the City’s project.
An evaluation panel will rank the architecture firms and provide a recommendation for the selection of a firm to the City Commission for consideration. The first phase of the design process will include a market analysis, site recommendation, and establish design requirements for the new complex.
The presentations were streamed live and the recordings are available to watch on the City's YouTube channel, https://youtu.be/Se0O8fl9Q4M.
