Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (ACCA)
As we prepare for a major renovation of Brighton Dome Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre, you will occasionally find us popping up in partner venues across the city over the coming months. For more information and to find out how you can support us build for our future visit the Our Future section of our website.
The iconic building, designed by Sir Basil Spence and formerly known as the Gardner Arts Centre, has been closed since 2007. It has now been transformed into a modern, flexible environment for exhibitions and performance, and an important new teaching and research space for the University. The building takes its new title in tribute of the University’s former Chancellor Lord (Richard) Attenborough and his family.
