Facilities
The
renovations included:
- Accessibility
to the entire building, both vertical (with the addition of
a new elevator) and horizontal (with hallways that connect
Pratt to the Hammond Wing on each floor
- Acoustical treatment
of the entire building including practice rooms, classrooms
and studio/offices
- Creation of a
consolidated library for music and dance holdings
- Consolidation
of choral library holdings to one space
- Placement
of most teaching studios on the same floor to facilitate interaction
among faculty
- A two-story addition
on the north end of the building which connects Pratt to Hammond
with a skylight corridor and houses a forty-seat, fully mediated
classroom and three studio/offices.
Pratt/Hammond, built
in 1909/1967 and thoroughly renovated in 2000, has become a
state-of-the-art facility, full of light and usable space and
reorganized in a way that makes it easy to locate classrooms,
library, practice space and offices/studios. The building contains
14 teaching studio/offices, 12 practice rooms, 3 classrooms,
a keyboard lab, 2 performance/rehearsal spaces, and a library
with holdings for music and dance.
Technology
The entire building is hard-wired for computer, cable and
video-conferencing. All the classrooms have audio/video racks
and 2 of the classrooms are fully mediated. The library has
11 individual computer and/or audio stations and 1 small group
work room with full audio/video capacity. Each studio/office
has a computer. We also have a Wenger "V" Practice
Room to enable students to rehearse in a space that can simulate
the acoustics of different performance spaces.
