MICA Walking Tour: Brown Center

Transcript

Brown Center — named for Baltimore philanthropists and former MICA trustees Eddie C. and C. Sylvia Brown — was built specifically for design- and time-based media programs, housing classroom and studio space for Animation, and both graduate and undergraduate Graphic Design programs.

It also features the 525-seat Falvey Hall, Leidy Atrium, and Rosenberg Gallery. Architectural Record called it the finest modern building erected in Baltimore or Washington in a quarter century.

Did You Know?

The Browns’ gift to help construct Brown Center was one of the largest gifts to an educational institution by an African-American family in the country's history.

“If you look at all the buildings, I think Brown Center is what grabs your attention. When it rains, you can see the water dropping by on the windows, and when there is light, it makes really cool shapes and shadows.” -  Eun Young Ko ’19,  Architectural Design
