The results of a recently completed $65,000 study show that several dance studios and film festivals currently spread across the city could be brought together under a single roof with the restoration of Liberty Station’s historic Luce Auditorium. According to NTC Foundation officials, this could be made possible if the historic facility had two small film venues and a 500-seat auditorium. If those proposed uses don’t clash with statewide guidelines for retrofitting historic buildings and are financially feasible, the Liberty Station arts community could have a San Diego gem to call home, said Alan Ziter, executive director of the NTC Foundation. NTC Foundation officials are now in the process of drafting a letter to the California Office of Historic Preservation and the U.S. National Park Service to review the results, he said. “What the study was trying to demonstrate is what would fit in the confines of the building envelope … and what would fit the needs of the community,” said Ziter. “We certainly know more now [from the study] than we did a year ago.” Community members, city and county officials joined forces over the last year to raise the money for the Luce Auditorium study. If given the OK from state and federal agencies, Ziter said planners will start formulating business models and design work and establishing an endowment so the historic auditorium can pay for itself. NTC Foundation officials should have an answer from state and federal agencies by late spring, according to Ziter. The historic Luce Auditorium at Truxtun and Dewey roads once was home to such comedy and music legends as Bob Hope and Nat “King” Cole, who entertained thousands of Navy recruits in the 1,800-seat auditorium what was then the Naval Training Center.
