George
Mason University’s Center for the Arts opened its Concert
Hall on October 6, 1990. The 2,000-seat building, designed by
the architectural firm The McGuire Group, is lauded for its outstanding
acoustics and sightlines. The Center for the Arts complex, which
rivals the best of downtown Washington, DC, also includes two
experimental theaters, three dance studios, and music and fine
arts studios.
A
diverse range of performances, including opera, ballet, modern
dance, jazz, symphony, chamber recitals and theater, can be seen.
George Mason University is the only university in the country
that has made a priority of bringing the performing arts into
the lives of all its students — 500 Concert Hall tickets
are available free to students for each performance.

#PR-01121-ED - Open Edition Print
The
Johnson Center was named in honor of Dr. George W. Johnson, George
Mason University’s president of 18 years. Planning for the
center began in 1986 and was shared by Mason students, faculty and
staff. The center, which is the first building of its kind on an
American campus, was designed by the Richmond, Virginia architectural
firm of Marcellus, Wright, Cox & Smith. Charles H. Tompkins
Company was the General Contractor. The 320,000 square foot building
was completed at a cost of $30 million and dedicated in April, 1996.
As
the central focus for university-wide learning, the Johnson Center
was designed to help integrate students’ curricular and extracurricular
activities and strengthen relationships between the university’s
communities. The center contains a technology-enhanced library,
Student Media Authoring Center, 310-seat Cinema, four 25-station
computer labs, ten meeting rooms, a 1,000-seat dividable multipurpose
room, and ten study lounges. Retail operations include a bookstore,
course materials store, convenience store, computer store, banking
services, and a Food Court.
