With a stunning 250-seat recital hall and distance learning studios, the school—already acclaimed as a vanguard of musical education—gained an elegant venue to showcase student talent and a state-of-the-art educational tool. The recital hall supports recording and live broadcast and allows teachers and musicians to take and give lessons in real time with pupils all over the world. To maintain the room’s clean and bright aesthetic, we integrated robust technological infrastructure and adjustable acoustic devices seamlessly behind the wood slats of the side walls.

A 150-seat black box theatre features adjustable seating and can be arranged in thrust arena, traverse, or endstage configurations. The theatre features a double height sliding door, opening to the lobby. Through glass windows above the room, a hallway offers passersby a unique angle to watch the action on stage—both features were designed to invite cross-disciplinary collaboration and contribute to the building’s “open” aesthetic. A second-floor choral rehearsal room features a floor-to-ceiling glass walls, illuminating the two-story space with natural light. With retractable seating and variable acoustic draperies, the rehearsal room can be “tuned” to suit the acoustic needs of each user. With multiple users in mind, we designed the facility’s dance studio with a sprung floor, dedicated dressing room, pipe grid, performance lighting, and retractable seating. The black box theatre, choral rehearsal room, and many of the classrooms were designed as “smart classrooms,” and equipped with recording capability and extensive technical infrastructure.
