The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opened on September 8, 1971, and produces and presents theater, dance, ballet, orchestral, chamber, jazz, popular, and folk music, in addition to multi-media performances for all ages. It is the busiest performing arts facility in the United States and annually hosts approximately 2,000 performances for audiences. The facility is located along the Potomac River, adjacent to the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C.
Since 2008, Downey & Scott has worked on various projects at the John F. Kennedy Center, which include the renovation of nine (9) rehearsal rooms, replacement of all exterior curtain wall systems and main entry doors for the entire facility, site improvements to roadway and storm drainage to waterproof the underground entrance tunnel, exterior coating to the exterior columns of the entire facility, as well as the replacement of the Millennium Stages at the Great Hall.
