Paul Mellon Arts Center

The Paul Mellon Arts Center contains two distinct sections: a Theater Wing with a 760-seat proscenium theater and a Triangle Wing housing art studios and practice rooms.

The building, funded by alumnus Paul Mellon and completed in 1972, marked the physical connection between the formerly separate Rosemary Hall girls school and Choate School for boys.

The center maintains exhibition spaces and performance venues where students and community members engage with various forms of visual and performing arts throughout the year.

Visitors can access multiple levels of artistic facilities, including practice rooms, recording studios, and two theaters connected through an underground passage system.

The structure represents one of architect I.M. Pei's educational designs, incorporating modernist principles with dedicated spaces for both theatrical performances and visual arts education.
