St. Mary’s College of Maryland Dodge Performing Arts Center & Learning Commons
The Nancy R. & Norton T. Dodge Performing Arts Center & Learning Commons on the waterfront campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland blends seamlessly into the academic district of the college. The 58,500 GSF project is a combination of two components – a learning commons to the north and the auditorium space to the south. The learning commons features study commons, café, offices, and seminar rooms. The central highlight of the Dodge Center is the the 700-seat auditorium, with 450 seats on the main floor and 250 in surrounding tiers and the balcony. The building houses a recital hall, box office, green room, music practice rooms and teaching studios, choral library, instrument and records storage, and offices. This project was recognized as the AIA Maryland Excellence in Design Public Building of the Year and is LEED Silver certified.
