Schuler Shook provided theatre planning and architectural lighting design services. Teaching spaces were designed to support the technical needs of students and faculty. Specific rehearsal rooms were created for instrumental rehearsal, chamber music, choral rehearsal, and percussion rehearsal. Completing the instructional spaces are a sound recording suite and a computer lab. Performance spaces include a technically astute application of variable acoustic systems as well as coordination of architectural lighting with theatrical dimming systems.
