Donna and Marvin Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, Performing arts center at Emory University, Atlanta, US.

The Donna and Marvin Schwartz Center for Performing Arts is a 90,000-square-foot facility at Emory University in Atlanta, completed in 2003. Its centerpiece is the 825-seat Cherry Logan Emerson Concert Hall, a tall, narrow shoebox hall with clerestory windows, holding a Daniel Jaeckel Opus 45 pipe organ with 54 stops and 3,605 pipes. The complex also contains a 109-seat dance studio with a Harlequin floor, a configurable theater lab seating about 70, and the Tharp Rehearsal Hall.

The center opened in 2003 and significantly expanded the city's cultural performance capacity. Its founding marked an important moment for Atlanta's arts scene and the university's educational mission.

The center is named for Donna and Marvin Schwartz, whose gift funded the $36.9 million building. Its three programs are dance, music and theater, taught and performed under one roof. Visitors can look for the 109-seat dance studio with its Harlequin floor, the only space in Atlanta used solely for dance, and the flexible theater lab that seats about 70.

The center sits at the southwest corner of Emory's campus, at North Decatur Road and Clifton Road, with Emerson Hall's two-story lobby opening toward North Decatur Road and the off-campus community. The 109-seat dance studio and the theater lab, seating about 70, are teaching spaces, so check what is open before visiting. Classrooms occupy the lower level.

The 109-seat dance studio has a Harlequin floor, described in the sources as the only one of its kind in Atlanta, and is the only space in the city used solely for dance. A theater observatory lets students watch and discuss performances in the theater lab below.
