Fine & Performing Arts Building

William & Mary's new arts complex supports instruction and extra-curricular activities in music, theater, speech, dance, studio art, and art history. The addition of the new music building and the transformation of existing arts buildings resulted in a dynamic new campus precinct.

The Fine and Performing Arts Center is adjacent to the College’s Swem Quad near Andrews Hall and Memorial Hall. Arrival to the arts complex is marked by a broad landscape gesture that defines and unifies the various entrance experiences at each building. The art corridors between the buildings have spaces along their length for habitation. Inter-building circulation is emphasized with paving gestures that connect the buildings across these corridors.
