On April 29, 2026, Los Angeles Valley College officially opened its new Valley Academic & Cultural Center (VACC), a transformative 118,000-square-foot facility dedicated to arts and media education. TBG Integrated Systems is proud to have played a key role in delivering the advanced audiovisual technology that powers this state-of-the-art building.
A New Hub for Creativity and Innovation at Los Angeles Valley College
Located on the LAVC campus in Valley Glen, the Valley Academic & Cultural Center now serves as the central home for the college’s Media Arts and Theater & Dance departments. This modern three-story building brings together classrooms, production facilities, and performance venues to prepare students for successful careers in film, television, theater, audio production, and digital media.
Key highlights of the VACC include:
• Four performance venues: a 450-seat Mainstage Theater, 225-seat Screening Theater, 150-seat Horseshoe Theater, and 80-seat Lab Theater
• Specialized spaces including a newsroom, podcast and radio station, Foley sound studio, rehearsal rooms, media labs, and smart classrooms
• An outdoor amphitheater for community events
• Faculty offices and production/control rooms built for professional workflows
This landmark project strengthens Los Angeles as a global leader in creative education and workforce development.
