Colburn School of Performing Arts

Los Angeles, CA

This School of Performing Arts and Conservatory of Music attracts high school and college-aged students who are passionate about developing their talents in music, dance, and drama. The campus is next to the Museum of Contemporary Art and Walt Disney Concert Hall in the cultural center of downtown Los Angeles. For the 326,000 square foot addition, Salter consulted on the acoustical design for a 200-seat recital hall, 4,000 square foot rehearsal hall, percussion studio, teaching studios, practice rooms, classrooms, administrative offices, and 7 floors of student housing. The resulting structure is a representation of the school’s mission: “To provide the highest quality performing arts education by outstanding faculty in an optimal environment.”
