- 2015: New Facility for BYT
Completed in 2015, the 12,000-square-foot theater includes a flexible black box theater-in-the-round that can be configured to accommodate between 100 and 150 seats. Support facilities include a box office, a concessions sales room, a lobby, “green room,” rehearsal space, storage and outdoor theater capabilities. The new facility is integrated into the park with a green roof providing a natural insulator, resulting in significant energy savings while limiting the impact of stormwater runoff. The facility is fully accessible and designed to meet LEED Certification standards. A combination of existing city funds, grants, levy funds, and fundraising by the Bellevue Youth Theatre Foundation provided project funds. - 2020: BYT recognized for 30 years of serving youth and providing community enrichment.
