该设计特点为三个悬浮在地面上的梯形，与舞者和表演者的动态动作相呼应。透明和半透明玻璃的相互作用使选择性视野从内向外渗透，并在夜间熠熠生辉。表演中心的赤色陶土外墙与校园内的几座建筑形成了一种和谐的物质关系。

The design is characterized by three suspended trapezoids floating above the ground, echoing the dynamic movements of dancers and performers. An interplay of transparent and translucent glass allows for selective views to permeate from the inside out and produces a glowing presence at night. The Center’s red terracotta facade forms a material connection in harmony with several buildings across campus.

新中心位于林荫步道（Woodland Walk）和珍妮·霍尔泽（Jenny Holzer）纪念宾夕法尼亚大学女性历史的雕塑旁，它将激活宾大校园东北角的校园门户，最大地提高校园创意生活的可见性与可及性。特制的多用途学生表演和排练场馆为校园里一个强大多元且不断扩大的艺术社区提供支持。

表演中心提案源于宾夕法尼亚大学校园生活部门于2019年一项研究中提出的建议，该研究得出的结论是，需要额外的表演和排练空间以满足当前和未来的需求。因有70多个学生表演艺术团体，新中心可满足舞蹈、戏剧、歌唱、喜剧和其他艺术形式的表演等使用。

Sited along Woodland Walk and Jenny Holzer ’s 125 Years text-based sculpture celebrating the history of women at Penn, the new Center will activate the northeast corner of Penn’s campus, enhancing an inviting gateway while maximizing visibility and accessibility of creative life on campus. The dedicated and flexible student performance and rehearsal venues will support a robust diverse and expanding arts community at the University.

The proposal for the Center grew out of recommendations identified through a study completed in 2019 by Penn’s University Life, which concluded that additional performance and rehearsal space was needed to meet current and future demand. With more than 70 student performing arts groups, the new Center will serve as a dynamic and flexible space for student groups for dance, theater, singing, comedy, and other artforms.
