Opened in November 1971, the Dalhousie Arts Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a striking modernist performing arts complex at Dalhousie University designed by Halifax architect Charles Fowler and his firm C.A.E. Fowler & Company, with significant contributions from Japanese educator Junji Mikawa. The brutalist and metabolist structure houses multiple theatres—including a distinctive outdoor rooftop theatre—along with the Dalhousie Art Gallery, classrooms, and a sculpture garden. The interiors were designed principally by Andy Lynch, who drew inspiration from Finnish architect Alvar Aalto's work. Since its inception, it has remained Halifax's premier performing arts venue and home to Dalhousie's Fountain School of Performing Arts.
