Ed's Projects Experience

Ed Arenius is one of Artec's Principal Auditorium Designers and serves as internal coordinator of specialized information. He is skilled in performance equipment design, sightlines, seating, and performance facility planning. This technical knowledge of Auditorium Design and planning compliments his coordination role bringing together the wide-ranging experience and knowledge of the Artec team to create cohesive architectural concepts. He has overall Design responsibility for projects ranging from concert halls to pop entertainment venues in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

Ed joined Artec in 1990 as a drafter assisting the Artec team in the design of performance venues and associated technical systems. Ed left Artec in 1994 only to be persuaded by Artec's late founder, Russell Johnson, to return to Artec in 1995 as the Director of Design and Production.

Since 1995, Ed has been able to apply his architectural training and 22 years of industry experience to his work coordinating the Artec team. This close collaborative work has enabled Artec's facilities to maintain and expand on the signature qualities that have set Artec's projects apart as world class performance venues. Ed's innovative and collaborative design approach has allowed him to thrive as a Principal Auditorium Designer and Partner of the firm.

Ed received his Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Spring Garden College in Philadelphia and worked as Project Architect at Sullivan Associates in Philadelphia before joining Artec. His award winning concept drawing for the Philadelphia City Hall Centennial architectural competition is now part of the permanent collection of The Atwater-Kent Museum in Philadelphia.
