Rarig Center, Brutalist theater center at University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, US.
The Rarig Center contains four distinct performance spaces: a thrust stage, proscenium theater, arena theater, and black box theater within its concrete structure.
Ralph Rapson designed this educational facility in 1971, drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier's architectural principles for the University of Minnesota campus.
The center houses Radio K studios and supports theater education through specialized workshops, productions, and performances throughout the academic year.
The building provides access through multiple entrances, including a tunnel connection from the east side and adaptations for mobility requirements.
The Stoll Thrust Theatre replicates the original Guthrie Theater at quarter scale, offering 460 seats for theatrical productions.
