Centennial Performing Arts Center

Placing the arts at the center of campus.

Situated in a prominent location at the northeastern corner of the campus’ central quadrangle, Centennial Performing Arts Center brings the performing arts into the physical and academic mainstream of campus life. The new building includes a two-story lobby, 400-seat multiuse Shakespearian-style theater, music and dance studios and rehearsal room, dressing rooms, a scene shop/laboratory and other production support spaces. Particular to the “courtyard” theater form, all 400 seats are within 40 feet of the front of the stage, and there is built-in flexibility for both audience size and style of production.
