Over a decade in the making, the New Cultural Center (NCC) in Columbia, Maryland has officially broken ground! Located in the heart of Columbia, the transformative Mixed Use Development will be anchored by a new home for the beloved Toby’s Dinner Theatre. The NCC facility will also feature two additional performing arts venues for use by local music groups, a visual arts center, five levels of residential units, a structured parking garage, and public outdoor spaces—including a sculpture park and new entry plaza.
Our structural engineering team has supported the project through early studies and into design, helping bring this dynamic community hub to life alongside longtime collaborators at Design Collective, Inc.
Transforming Columbia’s Cultural Landscape
With Howard County leaders, supporters, and artists all in attendance—along with a special performance by the talented Toby’s and local youth program actors—the groundbreaking ceremony celebrated both the site’s storied past and its vibrant future as a cultural cornerstone in Columbia, MD.
