Facilities

The Sarah Belk Gambrell Center for the Arts and Civic Engagement is a 63,000 square foot, 4-level complex that provides a home for the creative academic and lively arts at Queens University.

After undergoing an expansive $23 million renovation, the Gambrell Center reopened in 2020 with a state-of-the-art 994-seat Sandra Levine Theatre, 150-seat Katheryn Greenhoot Recital Hall, three art galleries, practice and classrooms, teaching studios, a music therapy suite, and the Art, Design, and Music academic programs. Upon entering the light-filled atrium, visitors can explore the current exhibits in the galleries or the sculptures on loan from the Lutsky Collection at the Foundation for the Carolinas.
