Harvey B. Gantt Center Afro-American Cultural Center of Charlotte

Harvey B. Gantt Center Afro-American Cultural Center of Charlotte

Workplace Architecture + Design worked as a sub-consultant to Freelon Group Architects to specify the furnishings for this signature project in the cultural district that surrounds the master planning of the Duke Energy tower and revitalization of South Tryon.  The Gantt Center celebrates contributions of African Americans to our nation’s culture and serves as a vital resource in Charlotte for music, dance, theater, visual and film arts, arts education, literature and community outreach. Flanked by new mixed-use development and the Charlotte Convention Center, the Gantt building is also a close neighbor to the new Bechtler and Mint Museums and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The facility includes highly flexible space for exhibitions, presentations, receptions/events and retail.
