Site overview

On the perimeter of the Wesleyan University campus is an orderly arrangement of eleven small white limestone clad buildings that are gracefully stepped down the landscape's terrain. The finest facilities for the arts are housed within, including drama, cinema, music, and art units. The cubic structures are all self-contained with repeating connecting walls and entries to break up the blocks. (Adapted from A Field Guide to Landmarks of Modern Architecture in the United States, by Miriam F. Stimpson)
