Joe Vogel commented about Cinemark Century Deer Park 16 on Oct 18, 2012 at 2:56 pm

This page at Reed Construction Data attributes the design of Century’s Deer Park multiplex to the San Diego architectural firm Fehlman LaBarre. The firm designed many multiplexes for Century during the chain’s last years. This web page from Reed has a partial list of them.

Joe Vogel commented about Cinemark Reno Summit Sierra on Oct 18, 2012 at 2:17 pm

The Summit Sierra 16 multiplex was designed for the Century chain by the San Diego architectural firm Fehlman LaBarre. In its last years, Century had several projects designed by this firm. The firm itself closed in 2010. Partner Mark Fehlman retired from architecture to pursue a career as an artist, and partner Michael LaBarre merged his practice with San Diego firm Carrier Johnson + CULTURE.

Joe Vogel commented about Cinemark Century at The River & XD on Oct 18, 2012 at 2:06 pm

From Scott Neff’s description this sounds like a bit of a Frankentheater. Part of the oddness is probably the result of Century’s addition of three screens to the original 12-screen multiplex. The addition was designed by Century’s favored architects of the period, the San Diego firm Fehlman LaBarre.

Fehlman LaBarre closed in 2010. Partner Mark Fehlman retired from architecture to pursue a career as an artist, and partner Michael LaBarre merged his practice with San Diego firm Carrier Johnson + CULTURE. The domain name of their web site was allowed to lapse and now belongs to a spam site, so avoid it. While information about the theaters the firm designed is no longer available there, Reed Construction Data provides this web page with a very brief description of the project.
