As part of the Franklin & Marshall College’s commitment to its visual and performing arts program, ABA developed a master plan to evaluate campus arts facilities. The result was a campus-wide arts initiative that included the transformation of an existing 750-seat campus auditorium into a new concert hall and center for art, film, dance, and lectures.
ABA’s design reconceived the architectural setting, systems, and acoustics, providing a rich, warm interior; new patron services and backstage facilities; and variable acoustics for a range of programs.
This project received awards from the United States Institute for Theatre Technology and the Boston Society of Architects.
