NEW YORK CITY-Ten wooded acres in West Nyack will be developed as the new Rockland Center for the Arts. Groundbreaking on the project is scheduled for Sept. 2003 and delivery of the dramatic building is scheduled for spring 2005, officials of the 55-year-old arts organization revealed yesterday.

Manhattan-based Hariri and Hariri, the award-winning architectural firm behind the project, was chosen from a field of 37 bidders. The design was unveiled by RoCA at yesterday’s luncheon meeting of the Rockland Business Association.

“The plan we have chosen is remarkable also for its functionality,” said Alan Koss, chairman of the RoCA strategic planning committee. “It includes a renovation of the existing building, and sweeps it into an entirely new concept that is frankly, quite breathtaking to contemplate on the hill and the Center’s 10 acres. Our objective in commissioning this design has been to serve our mission of providing the community with fine and applied arts through presentation, education and outreach, and we believe this concept more than does so.”
