Bellarmine College Preparatory, Sobrato Center for Humanities & the Arts
The Sobrato Center for Humanities & the Arts at Bellarmine College Preparatory School forms the cultural heart of the existing campus quad for this prestigious private school. The facility is organized around a 440-seat theater that is outfitted with a large workshop and ‘Black Box’ theater. Sloped seating, a traditional orchestra pit, and robust infrastructure allow the theater to accommodate a wide range of performances.
In addition to the theater, the building houses several General Education and Fine Art Classrooms, a Music Practice Room, a Ceramics Lab and kiln, and a Digital Technology Lab. The concentration of these spaces into a single building also makes it more economical to incorporate state-of-the-art technology into each discipline. The building has been awarded LEED® Gold certification.
