Dorothy F. Schmidt Center for Arts & Humanities at Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL

The college of Arts and Humanities is a contemporary three building campus center situated around a landscaped quadrangle and terraced outdoor amphitheatre. Each of the three 25,000 square foot buildings provide a major and distinctly different use, each its own visual expression. Featured are an Arts Center with an Art Gallery, an Experimental Black Box Theatre, lecture hall, and various art studios. The two-story Humanities Instructional Center, with its administrative and departmental offices and seminar and conference rooms, functions like a typical office building and is situated to the north of the quadrangle. The Performing Arts Center includes seven art department studios with their various functional space requirements. Each studio can be opened onto adjacent waterfront terraces or courtyards to expand the studio space. They offer a more informal lifestyle for the faculty and students who work there. STH, in concert with Edward Larrabee Barnes, provided full architectural design services.
