The AISD Performing Arts Center has been featured by global design curator e-architect. Designed with Pfluger Associates Architects, the Performing Arts Center (PAC) serves more than 84,000 K-12 students at 129 schools.

The project has received LEED Gold certification, and earned a 5-star rating from Austin Energy Green Building. A 60 kW rooftop solar array will offset up to 8% of the building’s annual energy needs, while daylit offices and public spaces reduce energy use. When compared to a baseline case study, the PAC achieves the following: 23% less overall energy use; 100% less irrigation potable water use (via graywater recycling); and 33% less indoor potable water use. 44% of building materials were sourced within 500 miles, and the building contains 33% recycled content.
