Bare Bones and Back
The north wall of Cole Dining Hall was knocked out and now links the Merkel Family Lobby to the Centre for Leadership, Innovation & Performance.
Sandi Chasson, Head of Music, checks out the new space prior to moving in. The Upper School Music Department has moved from the dining hall basement to a huge band room with acoustic panels, wooden floors, and soaring glass windows. There are rooms for instrument storage and practice space, as well as a Middle School Music band room, just one floor above. SAC’s entire Music Department is together for the first time ever.
Ketchum Auditorium was stripped bare and the back wall pulled down to accommodate the new Wirth Theatre—essentially a theatre within an auditorium. Fold-down seating around the thrust stage combines to seat 700 people comfortably, making it possible for the entire school community to gather together.
