Concordia Music Center

Inspiring the faculty and students of Concordia University, the renovation and addition of the Concordia Music Center will bring light to the quad and provide new resources for the nationally accredited Department of Music. The 46,500 square foot addition with tall, linear windows and modern precast panels is a $17.5 million project that includes state-of-the-art technology and adjustable acoustics to enhance the musical experience. Designed in association with HDR, the renovation and addition will contain 22 practice rooms and 13 teaching studios, a recording studio, and space dedicated to music therapy. Additionally, a Black Box theater will provide a first-class experience for performances. Flexible spaces present the opportunity for new programs to be offered by the University, including a Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in music recording techniques.

Sinclair Hille Architects has a longstanding relationship with Concordia University and has enjoyed working alongside their leadership to enrich learning environments on their campus. In 2017 our firm had the pleasure of designing the Dunklau Center located southeast of the music building. For more information about the Dunklau Center, visit our projects page. 

 
 

I enjoyed working with SHA on the Canopy Street Project.  It was a very complex project which required both large scale design thought as well as a focus on small details. Their professionalism impressed me as well as all of the other clients in the project from restaurants, to hotel operations through condo buyers, SHA continued to move the project forward and solve problems with all in mind.  As a licensed architect myself I really appreciated their willingness to partner with me and listen to my design ideas while improving the direction time and time again. Quite simply, Canopy Street would not have been nearly as successful without SHA’s talented staff.
