Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx)

The Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx) provides a new campus hub for the creative arts, and a welcoming gateway to the southeast corner of the campus.

The 49,000-sf fine and performing arts center offers flexible, multi-functional space including a large performance hall, a black box theater, an art gallery, and a site designed for outdoor performances and public gatherings.

The project also encompassed the renovation of a neighboring historic campus building. Originally the campus heat plant, the space was reconfigured to include classroom and rehearsal space accommodating up to 80 students.
