The Lindemann Performing Arts Center

Fulfilling a vision discussed as early as 1974, Brown opened The Lindemann Performing Arts Center — a truly unique, radically flexible center for performance and artistic experimentation. Designed by REX architecture, The Lindemann was created to inspire innovative art-making, enable unprecedented artistic collaboration and serve as a hub for performance. Its main hall shifts into five configurations, including a 530-seat orchestral performance space with raked seating, a flat-floored cube for immersive multimedia installments, and a theater with wing space on either side of the stage. Inside the Nelson Atwater Lobby, a dynamic light installation by artist Leo Villareal keeps visitors and audiences company. And below the main floor are studio spaces designed specifically for dance, theater and music, along with an array of green rooms, practice rooms and storage areas.
