SouthLight & The Lawn @ SCCRI

The SouthLight Pavilion is a luminous, flexible space that opens in all directions using 24 monumental swing doors. The 1,200 square-foot pavilion is constructed from a greenhouse kit, re-purposed to transform an economical, pre-engineered shed into a building with civic presence.

Its interior naturally illuminated during the day, due to its translucent polycarbonate cladding design, and at night through the continuous glow of the interior lighting, The SouthLight Pavilion serves as public space, event venue, storm water mitigation and educational tool.

A nearly 10,000-square-foot generous lawn stretches out on both sides of the pavilion, creating spillover space for large events and a pleasant environment for public use when the pavilion is closed. The SouthLight Pavilion is programmed seasonally (April - September) and made available to renters during this season.
