A legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has leveraged the investment and spaces from the games towards embedding culture. A key feature of the park has been attracting major cultural institutions to set up affiliate venues, including Sadlers Wells dance institute and the V&A Museum, both of which have used this new venue to build their presence outside the city centre.

Major regional park with anchor affiliate venue.

Made possible by an agreement between the San Diego symphony and the Unified port of San Diego, this venue fulfils a long term desire for a state-of-the-art venue that also serves as a dynamic public space. This $85 million project stands on a 3.7 acre finger of land which reaches from the downtown convention centre into San Diego Bay. The San Diego symphony raised about 96% of the cost of the venue, which also includes adjacent eating and drinking venues.

Iconic outdoor performance venue which anchors culture in a prominent regional park.
