Allard Hall—MacEwan University’s new Centre for Arts and Culture—establishes a new urban landmark and visually compelling gateway to its City Centre Campus in Edmonton.
Clad in a distinctive, climate-responsive façade of high-performance glazing accentuated by vibrant green ceramic frit, and black spandrel panels that reflect the sky, the building’s sleek contemporary expression promotes MacEwan’s main campus as a state-of-the-art, community-inspired institution.
Offering a unique combination of high-tech academic and cultural functions, Allard Hall’s exceptional performance and educational spaces include a 450-seat proscenium theatre, a 200-seat recital hall, and a 100-seat black-box theatre; visual arts, digital, and sound studios; specialized high-tech computer labs; classrooms, galleries, and office spaces.
With its multiple theatres and galleries, Allard Hall is an inspiring, educational community arts and cultural hub that reflects the urban center of Edmonton’s thriving arts and music scene.
