The Architectural Programming of University Performing Arts Centers

This study was conceived as an exploration into the planning and programming of university performing arts centers. The method of research included general readings relative to architectural programming, evaluations of performance facilities, and generic studies of theatre design. From this basis, a group of six buildings were chosen that represented a wide variety of arts center types. Included were the University of Arkansas, Fine Arts Center; East Texas State University, Performing Arts Center; Centre College of Kentucky, Regional Arts Center; Arizona State University, Grady Gammage Auditorium; State University of Iowa, Hancher Auditorium; and University of Illinois, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
