Project Overview
The goals of this fast-track project included the restoration of the lobby and grand staircase on the first floor, and the technically challenging design and construction of new basement practice spaces that would be acoustically separate from each other. The colorful basement practice spaces offer a lively contrast to the exposed historic stone foundation wall. We also renovated the public areas to be universally accessible and restored the lower level with “green” millwork fabricated from renewable bamboo plywood.
