The Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations
Arts and Culture
The Charles W. Eisemann Center, for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations is a performance hall which opened in September 2002 in Richardson, Texas. The center is named for local philanthropist, Charles W. Eisemann, in recognition of a US$2,000,000 gift[1] from the Eisemann Foundation Fund of The Communities Foundation of Texas. It is the primary performance venue for the Plano Symphony Orchestra and the Richardson Symphony Orchestra.
The Eisemann Center features three performance halls: the Margaret and Al Hill Performance Hall, the Bank of America Theatre, and the Bank of America Hall. All venues are connected by a lobby on three levels.
Designed by architect Eurico R. Francisco, AIA, of RTKL, the building was honored with design awards from the Dallas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2001 (“Unbuilt Honor Award”) and again in 2003 (“Built Honor Award”), in addition to receiving a “Best of Texas Award” for buildings over $50 million from McGraw Hill in 2002.
