www.avnetwork.com: Berklee College of Music opened the doors to its 160 Massachusetts Avenue, residence tower in January 2014. The building now features one of the largest, most progressive and versatile professional audio teaching/production/performance complexes in the U.S. Over three years and $100 million have been invested in the development and construction of this cusp point educational compound. Situated over four dedicated floors in a striking, sixteen-story, 155,000 sq. ft. William Rawn Associates building, the ten-studio Walters-Storyk Design Group-designed audio education component represents a pinnacle of contemporary studio planning.

So first, wow! That looks incredible! The building looks beautiful, the idea of an open space like that with a dining area kind of reminds me of Alice Tulley Hall in NYC. I think it's a great idea to have a place were students can perform for other students that isn't the conventional auditorium. It creates an intimacy that doesn't compare and it's a great way get the students to bond. I love seeing schools that are dedicated to just music (Manhattan School of Music, Berklee, etc. (I mean yeah, there's Julliard but they also focus on dance and performance art which is also amazing)) Mostly because it shows how vast the topic of music is. There is so much to music that people who just listen to the radio on the car ride to work are experiencing but don't even know it! Sound is fascinating, how the weather outside can effect sound, how one note can change everything, how the world around us is surrounded by music even in silence. Music and Sound is art the we can feel and that surrounds us but we can't see! Isn't that beautiful!? I think so. So kudos to Berklee College, the building looks great! And kudos to WSDG for their attention to detail! I think everyone should be as detail oriented when designing and building. I know we may not think so, but the details are very important!
