World-Class Facilities

The Archipley Cultural Center at Eagle Hill is a state-of-the-art facility and a hub of activity on our campus. It is a vibrant place filled with limitless opportunities for personal and creative expression…the perfect space for our students to create, exhibit, perform, and enjoy art. It is a place for students to learn deeply by connecting ideas, skills, and experience in innovative ways.

But more than all that, the Archipley Cultural Center is a place to connect—a meeting place for young people and adults, performers and audiences, and established and budding artists.
