John Sergio Fisher & Associates is the architect of record, theater consultant and acoustician for this performing arts center with support spaces, a band/orchestra classroom, a choir classroom and drama rehearsal/classroom spaces. The project also includes a scene shop and lobby/gallery.

The building is constructed of exposed concrete masonry units, which gives it the desired noise attenuation and an energy-saving thermal time lag. The building was designed using a participatory design process whereby the students, faculty and administration were involved in the design and made the final design decisions. The artwork on the south elevation depicting band, choral, theater and dance was designed and executed by the students. The convex curves on the exterior and interior optimize the acoustical disbursement, which is adjustable.
