An Arts Center designed for a campus in Northern California, this project is designed to encompass both indoor and outdoor spaces as fully functional options for students and/or the public to gather.
Programming for the building includes classrooms for lectures and practicums with faculty and visiting professors. There is a hall for all-school meetings, performances and large lectures for both students and the general public. A cafe and store are open to the public.
The layout of the Arts Center is deliberately porous, connecting the various functions with private, public and interstitial spaces that cater to the campus and surrounding communities. This level of accessibility is designed to foster a closer relationship between the Center and the community it serves, offering free and programmed events designed to stimulate curiosity about the arts and their vital function in creating community.
