Primary Project Type
Schools

The new five-story building features:

  • a 500-seat auditorium and theater space
  • a black box theater, four new dance studios
  • visual arts studios
  • a recording studio and choral room
  • a 150-seat recital hall
  • 10 practice rooms, and
  • classrooms and science labs.

A roof terrace is designed for use as an outdoor classroom and performance space. The project also modified the existing streetscape by widening sidewalks and shortening crosswalks to create a safer path of travel around the building. New trees and street furniture create a more welcoming environment for students and visitors.

The building design is highly energy-efficient, exceeding LEED silver requirements.
