The tradition of architects experimenting with new typologies and forms on college campuses is one that goes way back.

Whether considering Frank Lloyd Wright’s 10-building collection of Usonian structures at Florida Southern College, Venturi-Scott Brown’s technological-contextual works at UCLA, Minoru Yamasaki’s elegant and stately Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton, or Frank Gehry’s shape-shifting Stata Center at MIT, college campuses have often provided fertile terrain where thoughtful, brand name designers and open-minded clients with unconventional program needs can come together in the pursuit of bold design solutions.

REX’s forthcoming Performing Arts Center at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island is no exception.
