This project is an initial phase of a larger program to provide much needed expansion and renovation to the aging facilities that serve the nationally-recognized Del Mar College Music program.  The project includes two recording studios, a rehearsal hall, and music laboratories and classrooms.  The original building, built in the 1950?s and 1960?s was dominantly oriented to a campus perimeter street, away from the pedestrian core and life of the campus.  As music provides an important element to the campus cultural life, it was considered a key project opportunity to provide significant campus benefit beyond technical scope of the project ? to utilize this initial phase to re-direct the Music Department to the heart of the campus, to create better pedestrian linkages to the campus, and to begin delineating new, lively campus outdoor spaces.
