Quad (branded as QUAD and also known as Derby QUAD), is an arts centre in Derby, England, first opened on 26 September 2008. Quad provides an art gallery, three cinemas (two large cinemas and a smaller relaxed room known as "The Box" showing small lesser known films), artists’ studios, and a cafe bar. The centre also has spaces in which people can create their own artwork.
The building has a steel-and-glass design by Bath architects Feilden Clegg Bradley, which was considered controversial when it was chosen by Derby council cabinet in 2004.
