Architecture: The current building (opened 2006) is a stunning, modern design by French architect Jean Nouvel. It features a distinct blue exterior and large, cantilevered public spaces with panoramic views of the Mississippi River, St. Anthony Falls, and the Stone Arch Bridge.

• "The Endless Bridge": A dramatic, 178-foot cantilevered bridge-like lobby extension over the street, offering spectacular river views.

Stages: It houses three different theaters: a 1,100-seat Wurtele Thrust Stage (a tribute to the original 1963 stage design), a 700-seat McGuire Proscenium Stage, and a flexible Dowling Studio black box theater.
