Adams Center for Music

The Adams Center for Music brings together performance, education, and community functions within a highly efficient footprint. Connected to the existing Phillips Music Center, the new building will include a 500-seat performance hall, a large ensemble rehearsal room, and dedicated spaces for choral and music education.

Striking glass openings along campus pathways offer views into primary performance and rehearsal spaces, reflecting a spirit of transparency, creativity, and connection. Flexible gathering areas serve as classrooms, event spaces, expanded lobbies, rehearsal areas, and green rooms.

Designed to support everything from large choral-orchestral works to chamber music, the performance hall will feature wraparound seating that surrounds the stage, creating an immersive and intimate experience shared by performer and audiences alike.
