When complete in spring 2023, the Brown University Performing Arts Center, located in Providence, R.I., will feature a main hall that will be transformable into five different stage and audience configurations—ranging from a 625-seat symphony orchestra hall to a 250-seat proscenium theater to an immersive surround-sound cube for media performance.
The board of directors for the three-auditorium Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center—the final piece of the puzzle for Lower Manhattan’s 16-acre World Trade Center redevelopment—says construction on the project is expected to begin in 2018 and be completed in 2020.
