The Perry and Marty Granoff Center for the Creative Arts (known simply as the Granoff Center colloquially[1]) is a visual and performing arts facility at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The building is home to the Brown Arts Institute.[2]
Designed by New York-based firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the building includes at 218-seat auditorium, as well as various other performance and exhibition spaces. The 38,000 square foot building is notable for its split facade: its right side is sunken half a floor below its left side, creating a disjointed effect.[3]
The building's construction cost was $38 million.[4]
Reception[]
In a 2011 article published after the center's opening, New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff described the building as a "handsome piece of architecture," which "creates wonderful visual relationship."[3]
Performing Arts Center[]
In February 2018, the University announced plans to construct a new performing arts center able to accommodate a symphony orchestra.[5] According to the Brown Daily Herald, the new Performing Arts Center is intended to serve as a performance–focused counterpart to Granoff, which functions as a “laboratory space.”[6]
