    Brown University - Granoff Center for the Creative Arts

    The purpose of the Perry and Marty Granoff Center for the Creative Arts is to advance innovative directions for research, teaching, and production across the boundaries of individual arts disciplines. This new facility will feature a recital hall, recording studio, multi-media lab and studios. All space within the building will be assigned for multi-disciplinary work. Programs and courses will be developed where collaboration among artists, scientists, and humanists will seek to create new art forms, new approaches to collaborative work, and will explore, examine, and extend our understanding of the creative process.

    Martinos Auditorium
    The Martinos Auditorium serves as both a performance venue for small to mid-sized musical events, and a 35mm and digital screening facility. The space is available for large classes, performances, lectures, and other special events.

    Production Studios
    The Granoff Center‘s four Production Studios characterize the central goals of the Center and will facilitate entirely new possibilities for interdisciplinary work in the arts at Brown. Flexible production space of this kind will improve the level of work for both teaching and research and will enable more ambitious multi-media installations, and performance-based works.

    Cohen Gallery
    The Cohen Gallery presents exhibitions organized in conjunction with multi-departmental programs and course offerings, featuring thematic exhibitions, works that have evolved from coursework or research, and work by visiting artists. The Cohen Gallery is open Wednesday through Friday, from 10am - 4pm.

    Recording Studio
    The Recording Studio allows users to produce high-quality recordings, allow for sound effect recordings for multimedia and theatrical sound design, music production, and scientific inquiry. Its proximity to the Production Studios will entice artists who would not ordinarily use sound to incorporate it in their work.

    Khoo Teck Puat Multimedia Lab
    The Khoo Multimedia Lab contains the hardware and software solutions necessary for students to create freely and unencumbered, stretching the boundaries of art, and redefining both process and practice. Students engage in a wide variety of disciplines including, 3D modeling and animation, filmmaking, electronic music, and hypertext authoring.

    Cogut Physical Media Lab
    The Cogut Physical Media Lab is used for production of and research in sensors, tangible interface, robotics and physical computing, primary areas of new research and teaching in the arts.

    Living Rooms
    An integral component of the Center’s design, the Living Rooms are comfortable, welcoming breakout spaces located on each landing of the atrium, which will draw students and faculty from the arts and beyond, helping to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations.

    Project Studios
    The Granoff Center contains four project studios, small spaces designed for individual, rather than collective work.

    Outdoor Amphitheater
    An outdoor Amphitheater is wired for sound and video, allowing for outdoor performances, film screenings, and installations. It offers additional green space around the Center, and functions as a magnet for passers-by, allowing glimpses into the various spaces on the Angell Street side of the Center.
