At long last, the groundbreaking for the long-awaited Diego Rivera Theater at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) is finally here. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, January 22, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM in STEAM 101. Please note that the event has already reached capacity.

This 30-month construction project will provide a permanent home for the 74-foot-long Pan American Unity mural. The theater will be located on the western side of Frida Kahlo Way, aligning with the historic east-west axis of Science Hall.

Designed by LMN Architects, the facility will ensure the mural is preserved for future generations. During construction, lead art conservators Kiernan Graves and Anne Rosenthal will monitor the masterpiece every six months. This milestone marks a new chapter for the mural, which was first created for the 1940 Golden Gate International Exposition.
