About the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts
Butler University broke ground for the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts in May 2011; the Center opened officially on April 18, 2013.
The Schrott Center is "a full-sized laboratory" for students and faculty to participate in and experience the arts. Theatre students are able to perform for larger audiences, in a proscenium theater. Dance students are able to showcase their individual performances and choreography on the Schrott stage. The adjustable acoustics can be tailored so music ensembles can maximize their presence and tone. Students studying art and design have the opportunity to exhibit their art in the facility, and arts administration students are able to learn firsthand the ins and outs of managing an artistic venue.
