Designed by New York–based firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the building includes at 218-seat auditorium, as well as various other performance and exhibition spaces. The 38,000 square foot building is notable for its split facade: its right side is sunken half a floor below its left side, creating a disjointed effect.[3]
The building's construction cost was $38 million.[4] The building is named for Perry and Martin Granoff, the primary benefactors of its construction.[5]
Reception edit
In a 2011 article published after the center's opening, New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff described the building as a "handsome piece of architecture," which "creates wonderful visual relationship."[3]
Performing Arts Center edit
In February 2018, the University announced plans to construct the Lindemann Performing Arts Center adjacent to the Granoff Center.[6] According to the Brown Daily Herald, the new Performing Arts Center is intended to serve as a performance–focused counterpart to Granoff, which functions as a “laboratory space.”[7]
