The Smith Center for the Arts serves as the premier teaching and performance facility for the growing number of undergraduates enrolled in the performing arts disciplines, as well as those participating in extracurricular activities involving music, theatre, and dance.
The Center’s primary performance venues are the 275-seat Angell Blackfriars Theatre, a 273-seat concert hall, and a smaller “black box” theatre. It also houses a dance studio; rehearsal rooms; scene shop; classrooms; offices for the Music Department; and the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Film; and a gallery for the Art Department.
The Smith Center’s Gothic style recalls that of Providence College’s historic main administration and classroom building, and defines the southern edge of a newly created campus quadrangle.

The cost figures reported are supplied by the firms that submitted these
projects for publication, which in most cases are the designers or builders.
Whereas these sources are intimately familiar with their projects, they may
not be fully aware of the owners' finally-realized and recorded costs. In some
cases, costs are truly and completely accounted for, and in others they represent
a near approximation of the final costs. Costs have not been adjusted for
year of construction, nor has any attempt been made to make regional cost
adjustments.
Further, costs are not comparable on any kind of detailed standard costing model.
Hence, it is possible for the cost of one building to include a steam boiler, while
the cost of a comparable building might not include the boiler, if steam is being
supplied from an already existing campus grid. Or, in another case, a building might
include excess boiler capacity to supply steam to another building. Some submittals
include fees or unusual site improvements as part of the construction costs, which
others do not.
