The expansion of the Fuller Theological Seminary includes a major addition to the Seminary's research library and a new Center for Worship and the Arts.

The central space in the Fuller Seminary Center for Worship and the Arts is a 600 seat multipurpose assembly structure designed to accommodate spoken word, choral, instrumental, and amplified music performances. To accommodate this wide range, variable acoustics are provided to tune the reverberation period of the performance space to intervals appropriate for the type of performance. Provision is also made for state of the art audio/video feeds and display, and support and pre-and postfunction areas. The project includes a multitude of innovative acoustic features, including special skylight and window assemblies to allow natural light in the performance space. The worship center is located on the historic campus of the Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and was designed with advanced sustainability features that also enhanced the primary function of the building.

The construction of the David Allan Hubbard Library will triple the size of the Seminary's library. Home to one of the finest theological collections in the world, the Hubbard Library integrates existing library buildings constructed in 1961 and 1977 into a cohesive whole. Materials include precast concrete cladding and Panelite-integrated insulated glass units. Construction on the addition is over half completed.
