A Gateway to Creativity and Culture
PRAx | Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Arts
Hoffman has partnered with Oregon State University and Holst Architects to deliver the new 53,400 sf Center for the Creative Arts. The project combines theater, communications, visual arts, and music to create a campus gateway.
The building supports OSU’s goals of moving from a STEM to STEAM education model and provides additional performance and event space on campus. The complex is a comprehensive education and performance facility with a 500-seat recital hall, black box theater, flexible art gallery, and customized support spaces. Additionally, the Center for the Creative Arts includes the renovation of an adjacent historic structure for rehearsal and classroom functions and a site design configured for outdoor performance and public gathering.
