Furness Courtyard
Behind Solmssen Court at the rear of Dorrance Hamilton Hall, between the two wings of Furness Residence Hall, is the Furness Courtyard, a beautifully landscaped space traditionally open only to UArts students, staff and faculty. Throughout the year, various sculpture installations and performance pieces take place in the courtyard.
The tree-lined courtyard, furnished with colorful lounge chairs and family-style picnic tables, features access to Solmssen Court and Pine Street. As an outdoor space, the courtyard lends itself to smaller social gatherings, BBQs and potluck events, as well as interactive demonstrations and performances. It can also serve as a conversational space for events taking place in Solmssen.
