The campus community will have an opportunity to hear from one of the creators of the University’s Wolfe Center for the Arts when Craig Dykers, a principal in the award-winning architecture firm Snøhetta, comes to campus as the next speaker in the architecture program’s yearlong lecture series.
 
Dykers will speak at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 28 in the Bowen-Thompson Student Union Theater. A reception will be held at 5:30 in the adjacent lounge area. His talk and the reception are free and open to the public.

The Wolfe Center will be the first American project to be completed by Snøhetta, a Norwegian company with projects from Europe to the Middle East. A Snøhetta-designed opera house recently opened in Oslo, and the firm has been chosen to design a new cultural center for the king of Saudi Arabia.
