Gardner Arts Centre, Arts centre at University of Sussex campus in Brighton and Hove, England.

The Gardner Arts Centre features three windowless red-brick rings, with the innermost circle containing an auditorium for performances and exhibitions.

Designed by architect Basil Spence, the Gardner Arts Centre opened in 1969 through funding from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation at the University of Sussex.

The center reopened in 2016 as the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts, offering theater productions, music concerts, dance shows, and digital art exhibitions.

The venue accommodates 350 seated or 480 standing guests, with modern audio-visual equipment, rehearsal studios, and a flexible auditorium layout.

Britain's first campus-based university arts centre contains three concentric circles in its architecture, representing the unity of artistic disciplines.
