The Charles Wright Language and Performing Arts Center located in University Place, Washington is recognized as the campus “Family Room;” a place for students to learn and socialize both formally and informally. The 34,440 square foot building features a custom-designed mix of blended colors for the brick exterior. Chosen for its timelessness and durability, this masonry was selected to reference the rich melting-pot of diverse disciplines taught at the Academy. A dark charcoal brick, comprising about 20% of the mix, was chosen to unite the masonry with the abundant metal sunshades and struts that accessorize the building.
