Canterbury School | Fine Arts Center project

Canterbury School | Fine Arts Center

A K-12 private school serving Northeast Indiana, Canterbury School positions itself to help future generations of students foster their creative minds through the addition of its Fine Arts Center. A $9.2M investment in the institution's programming, the facility is a vital step forward, providing a space to pursue learning opportunities at a much greater scale.

Designed for the Arts

Developed by Weigand Construction and concepted by Design Collaborative, the Fine Arts Center serves as the central hub for Canterbury’s Academy of the Arts. The new, 18,000 square foot campus addition has several specialized offerings:

Art Gallery 2D Art Studio 3D Art Studio Blackbox Theatre Theatre Dressing Rooms Music Classroom Choral Room Practice Rooms Recording and Podcasting Studios Media Lab And More

These features allow for a diverse range of artistic disciplines for students to discover, explore, and hone throughout their learning journeys. Not only that, but students in every grade have access to the Arts Center, allowing them to foster creativity at all stages of their education.

More Lasting than Bronze

This tremendous effort in strengthening educational experiences resulted in a new pillar supporting Canterbury's education programs, impacting every student passing through its doors.

In the building that stands behind us, our students, guided by their incredible teachers, will produce art that will last a lifetime. We could not be more thankful to the Surack and James families, and to all of our donors for your support. You have, in the words of Horace, helped us to construct ‘a monument more lasting than bronze.’
