JCJ was retained to ­renovate the Shiley Theater on the campus of the University of San Diego in the 1990s. The architectural program for this project required that the ­renovation work not modify or change the original appearance of the interior spaces. However, the theater lighting, housing lighting and sound systems were replaced with all new state-of-the-art equipment.

Tapestries, stage ­curtains, upholstered ­theater ­seating, aisle carpet runners, ­parquet flooring, wall and ceiling architecture detailing and molding were coordinated to reflect the 16th century architectural style of the structure. Particular attention was directed to improving the acoustical ­qualities of the theater space as well.
