A NEW VISION FOR DRAMATIC,ARTISTIC,MUSICAL AND CULINARYEXCELLENCE
A Modern Day Renaissance
Palm Beach State College is experiencing a modern day Renaissance. Surpassing its previous accomplishments, the largest institution of higher education in Palm Beach County has cemented its place as the heart of Palm Beach County.
The College launches its next phase with a project that envisions 21st century excellence in education and elevates the aesthetic of its flagship campus at Lake Worth.
Reimagined facilities mean that key scholastic and innovative programs can be enhanced and further integrated into the academic and cultural fabric of the College and engage the community through partnership and in its future.
A redesigned Performing Arts Center exemplifies Palm Beach State as a premiere institution of higher learning and a national leader for Excellence in Performing and Culinary Arts.
The reimagined Performing Arts Center significantly expands the vision, capacity and scope for Palm Beach State’s Lake Worth campus and its performing arts venues, the Watson B. Duncan III and Stage West Theatres.
The state-of-the-art Center not only elevates the measure for excellence in performance art and education but also enhances the potential for community and philanthropic impact on Dramatic, Artistic, Musical and Culinary Arts.
The contemporary Performing Arts Center, housing the Duncan and Stage West Theatres, creates major donor engagement opportunities.
An expanded entrance to the College communicates the presence of Palm Beach State as a significant force for local and state-wide cultural, economic and workforce development.
