FACULTY STUDIOS

Faculty studios are designed for the best sound quality possible in a space large enough for chamber music coaching and studio classes. Ceilings are twelve feet, floors are wood parquet or carpet, air conditioning ducts are silenced, and bi-level natural-color fluorescent lighting is installed with remote ballasts to avoid the annoying hum. Solid concrete walls and substantial doors complete the sound isolation. Every studio has big windows, and many include computers, audio equipment, and grand pianos.

Individual faculty members make the rooms "their own" by bringing in artwork, rugs, and upholstered or antique furniture in addition to their office furniture.
