The Wolfe Center for the Arts At BGSU To Open Fall 2011

The Wolfe Center for the Arts at Bowling Green State University in Ohio is scheduled to open in fall 2011. The center brings together the Universities fine arts programs that were once scattered across the campus into one dynamic and collaborative learning space. The center will house theater, music, film, digital arts, design, sound, and dance. The generous, technologically advanced space will allow for classes, rehearsal and performances.

This will be the first North American project completed by the architectural firm Snøhetta, based in Oslo, Norway and New York, N.Y. Snøhetta recently received the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award - for the National Opera House in Oslo, Norway.

The $40 million, 93,000 square-foot collaborative arts center was introduced in April, 2009 with a groundbreaking that embraced the spirit of the building - the students.

Included in the space:
§ A 400-seat proscenium arch stage, designed to accommodate all types of theatrical and operatic performances
§ A 200-seat actor's theater, with flexible seating that can be rearranged from a traditional layout, to multi-level, to stage-surround, and more
§ A black-box stage
§ A recording studio and editing bays
§ State-of-the-art choral facilities
§ A substantial common space to facilitate the creative process
