Ordean Court, named after Duluth Civic Leader, Albert L. Ordean, was the original front door to UMD and serves as our main entrance to the Marshall Performing Arts Center, the Weber Concert Hall, and the Tweed Museum of Art. Home to the 1965 sculpture by noted artist, Jacques Lipchitz, it honors Duluth’s name sake, Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Luth.
Ordean Court is also known as the "Arts Triangle" and home to many programs within the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Buildings surrounding Ordean Court include:
- Marshall Performing Arts Center, which hosts six stage productions every year.
- Weber Music Hall, which features more than 200 concerts each year. The unique structure is built to resemble a sea shell and has amazing acoustics.
- Tweed Museum of Art, which hosts curated shows, professional artists, as well as student and faculty artwork.
At UMD, students do not have to major in the fine arts to get involved!
