路易斯艺术中心位于普林斯顿大学校园南端，毗邻麦卡特剧院中心。路易斯艺术中心大幅扩展表演、排练和教学空间，通过新的、最先进的设施将普林斯顿大学的艺术水平推向一个更高的高度。该综合体创造了一个新的校园入口，塑造校园空间的同时，使其可穿越性和活跃度最大化。

路易斯中心由斯蒂芬•霍尔事务所与 BNIM 事务所合作设计，集合了舞蹈厅、剧院、音乐厅、工作室，以及音乐学院的教学和研究设施的增建。这个建筑群包括华莱士舞蹈馆和剧院，由赫尔利画廊、行政办公室和其他工作室组成的艺术塔，以及新的音乐大楼这三部分。三栋建筑被整合在地下大厅——一个8 000平方英尺（约743平方米）的室内公共空间中，可以进行多样的艺术活动。大厅之上是一个有倒影池的室外广场。自然光会透过这个水池映射到地下大厅中。

为了激发好奇心和鼓励交往行为，新的艺术广场弱化了对舞蹈、戏剧练习空间和管弦乐排练空间的视线。这个校园的门户空间是一个迎人的开敞空间，旨在将当地社区与大学联系起来。

华莱士舞蹈大楼和剧院是根据“物中物”的理念发展而来。黑盒子剧场采用了钢结构，而舞蹈剧院则是由泡沫铝、白洗木和木板铺装的混凝土建筑。一个“舞动的楼梯”连接各层。

艺术塔由“嵌入式”概念发展而来，它的大理石塔造型与普林斯顿历史悠久的布莱尔拱门（Blair Arch）的比例相近。

新音乐大楼的概念则是“悬挂”，在大型的管弦乐队排练室上部，各间练习室被悬挂在钢梁上。每个独立的、木质墙面的房间相互隔离，保证了声学共振的品质。三座建筑的混凝土结构材料来自意大利莱切市2 100万年前的莱切石。

这座新艺术中心以已故的彼得•B•路易斯（Peter •B•Lewis）的名字命名，在某种程度上建筑的建成要归功于他在2006年组织普林斯顿1955届及以前的大学董事捐赠1.01亿美元（约6.7亿人民币），作为礼物献给普林斯顿大学。

The new Lewis Arts complex on the south edge of campus, adjacent to McCarter Theatre Center, takes the arts at Princeton University to even greater heights by significantly expanding the performance, rehearsal and teaching spaces for the arts in new, state-of-the-art facilities.The complex creates a new campus gateway, shaping campus space while maximizing porosity and movement.

The arts complex, designed by Steven Holl Architects in partnership with BNIM, brings together the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Programs in Dance, Theater, Music Theater, and the Princeton Atelier,and the Department of Music’s expansion of its instructional and research facilities in the New Music Building. The complex comprises the Wallace Dance Building and Theater; the Arts Tower, which includes the Hurley Gallery, administrative offices and additional studios; and the New Music Building.The three buildings are integrated below ground in a Forum, an 8,000 square-foot open indoor gathering space that serves the various arts venues in the complex. Above the Forum is an outdoor plaza with a reflecting pool. Skylights in the pool filter natural light into the Forum below.

Encouraging curiosity and interaction, the new arts plaza has overlook views into the dance and theater practice spaces and the orchestral rehearsal space. As an open public invitation, this gateway space aims to connect the local community to the University.

The Wallace Dance Building and Theater is developed according to the idea of a “thing within a thing.” The black-box theatre is composed of steel, while the dance theaters are foamed aluminum,white washed wood and board formed concrete. A “dancing stair” connects all levels.

The Arts Tower is developed with an “embedded” concept, its stone tower connecting to the proportions of Princeton’s historic Blair Arch.

The New Music Building is developed according to an idea of “suspension.” Above the large orchestral rehearsal room individual practice rooms are suspended on steel rods. Acoustically separate, these individual wooden chambers have a resonant quality. The concrete structure of all three buildings is faced in thick 21-million-year-old Lecce Stone quarried in Lecce, Italy.

The new arts complex is named for and was made possible in part through a $101 million gift to the University made in 2006 by the late Peter B. Lewis, Princeton Class of 1955 and former University trustee.
