Congratulations to the City of Newport Beach, the Library Foundation of Newport Beach, and the entire project team on the grand opening of Witte Hall!

“This new facility expands opportunities for lectures, performances, educational programming and community events,” says Mayor Lauren Kleiman. “With seating for nearly 300 guests, state-of-the-art audio and visual systems, and an architectural design inspired by seashells found on our coastline, Witte Hall is both functional and uniquely Newport Beach.”

More than a decade in the making, this new civic auditorium is a remarkable investment in Newport Beach’s cultural footprint. Featuring tiered seating for nearly 300 guests, state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, and the beautiful new Stahr Courtyard, Witte Hall will provide a welcoming venue for lectures, author events, concerts, films, education, and community gatherings for generations to come.

Griffin Structures is proud to continue our support of the City of Newport Beach for this project. Following the successful delivery of the City’s iconic Marina Park Community & Sailing Center, it’s an honor to help advance another important civic investment that will serve residents for years to come.

Congratulations to everyone whose vision, dedication, and collaboration made this milestone possible, including the City of Newport Beach, our incredible Griffin Structures team inclusive of Jon Hughes, Robert Godfrey, CCM, Cody Roth, Robert R. Coffee and AMG & Associates Inc..
