Program: The 58,000-square-foot venue includes a 250-seat performance hall, fifty-six individual music instruction studios, classrooms, group studios, and administration offices.

Design concept and solution: The MacPhail Center for Music’s former facility lacked appropriate acoustical spaces to meet its needs. James Dayton Design created a new center with acoustically superior design that merges with the surrounding industrial context. A transparent base opens the school to the community; the concrete and steel-framed building is clad in galvanized and Corten steel panels in deference to the adjacent buildings.
