Jones & Phillips Associates, Inc. was founded in 1974 by Ted W. Jones and Van Phillips; in 1978, the firm was formally incorporated, establishing offices in both Lafayette and Bloomington, Indiana. Their extensive experience in theatrical architecture, lighting, and rigging consultation was well received by the architects who design buildings with the unique requirements of performance spaces. In 1995, Mr. Jones retired from the day-to-day activities of the firm, but remains active on a limited number of projects. Jones & Phillips has consulted on a wide variety of performing arts facilities. The firm’s past projects have ranged from training facilities to renovations of community arts centers to 7,500 seat professional theatres and 23,000 seat civic arenas. The staff now includes employees, with expertise in theatre programming, design and planning, management, architectural lighting, specialized equipment design, and television and broadcast facilities, as well as the more standard theatrical consulting service. We are not architects or engineers, however, our services are designed around the assistance demanded by building professionals who are faced with the unique features of places of public assembly. It has been our pleasure to assist some of the finest building professionals in the country. Our services are provided as support for designs of buildings, which have become as specialized as conference and convention, religious and hospital structures.
