Contemporary Jewish Museum San Francisco, California The Contemporary Jewish Museum includes the adaptive reuse of the landmark Willis Polk 1907 Jesse Street Power Substation and is located just north of Moscone Center and the Yerba Buena Esplanade in San Francisco’s South of Market/Convention Center district. Theatre Consultants Auerbach Pollock Friedlander collaborated with Design Architect Studio Daniel Libeskind and Architect of Record WRNS Studio on the development of the Museum’s public assembly space, the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Hall. Previous experience with Studio Daniel Libeskind supported close coordination of functions and design elements in a unique and flexible room that elegantly serves the various program requirements of the museum’s key meeting venue. The 3,300-square-foot Hall is a flexible space, providing the Museum with a flat floor venue for dinners and meetings, as well as a media screening facility with stadium seating for 225 attendees. Auerbach Pollock Friedlander’s plan relies on a telescopic seating system that requires little more than thirty minutes to set up, allowing the room to be converted from an open plan meeting space to a fixed seating environment suited to media presentations and arts events for smaller audiences.
