Soli Deo Center at Christ Presbyterian Academy

The Soli Deo Center at Christ Presbyterian Academy is the focal point of the campus. Towering nearly 70 feet, the building is a stunning, artistic expression mirroring the burgeoning creative energy of a growing Nashville. It stands as a beacon of hospitality in the middle of the 58-acre Church and Academy campus which is neighbored by the wooded beauty of the Warner Parks, nine miles from downtown Nashville.

Like the performances it showcases, the Soli Deo Center is bright and inspired. Brick massing wraps the building base. An undulating corrugated metal panel, evocative of the stage curtain, sheaths the theatre house and fly tower. At the main entry, the brick mass opens up to reveal a transparent lobby capped with a wooden canopy — a welcoming gesture for guests. The glazing pattern introduces a contemporary vocabulary unique to this campus.

From its airy and open lobby and intricate theatre design, to the generous backstage/utility/greenroom areas, the building’s entertainment and performance capabilities are seamless.
