Piano’s collaboration with Gensler resulted in new expansions and some renovations of the May Company department store. The store is located at the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax.
Having its name changed to Saban building, the structure is composed of 6 floors and over 50,000 square feet of space assigned for exhibitions. The building will additionally include an education studio, a theater that can host up to 288 spectators, a restaurant, and a store. Moreover, it will contain a caf, a restaurant as well as several spaces for events. The most prominent part of the project is its glass sphere that will house the David Geffen Theater with a capacity of 1000 seats. The theater will house premiers, screenings, and performance.
