ALUMNI CONCERT HALL Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA The Alumni Concert Hall was originally an exhibition hall within the College of Fine Arts building designed by Henry Hornbostel. In the 1970s it was converted to a recital hall for the music department and later used as performance space for the drama department. LDA was commissioned to restore the original classical detailing of the space including the skylight, the curved colonnade and decorative plaster entablature and coved ceiling. The primary use of the room is now for orchestra rehearsals, and recording sessions and small group recitals.. LDA worked with the University’s acoustics consultant to design the means to “tune” the space for new use which included sound absorbing material on the walls and ceiling, sound diffusers and concave glazing in the skylight. LDA also consulted on lighting that would be adaptable for the various uses of the room and provide enough illumination for the musicians to read their music. Project Data Client: Carnegie Mellon University Size: 5,000 square feet Construction Cost: $300,000
