Steven Holl Architects Chosen to Design Arts Buildings for Princeton UniversitySteven Holl Architects has been selected to design the first academic buildings for the new arts and transit neighborhood at Princeton University.
The project includes buildings for the Program in Theater and Dance, components of the Department of Music, the Lewis Center for the Arts and the Society of Fellows in the Creative and Performing Arts.
Encompassing an estimated 135,000 gross square feet, the preliminary plans include a black box theatre, a large dance studio, an orchestral rehearsal studio, several smaller acting studios, dance studios, music practice rooms, classrooms, support spaces, a café and offices.
Including the recently completed expansion and renovation of the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, MO, and for its strength in using complicated programs as the basis for excellent architecture using light to open up spaces.
Mark Burstein, executive vice president Princeton University, stated: "We were looking for an architect who thrives on a complex program, and not only having a plan support that program but also having the buildings connect the programs together - almost integrate the programs spatially."
