Performance Space Design

March is Music in Our Schools Month, and this March we celebrate the performing arts and spaces that support the inclusive and energizing experience of live performance.

From Drama Theaters to Recital Halls to private rehearsal spaces, we have long been inspired by the way performing arts buildings shape the perception and appreciation of theater, dance, and music. Take a journey through one of our recently designed projects, The Performing Arts Center at Canterbury Woods, where the fan-shaped seating, thoughtfully balanced sightlines, and bespoke acoustic treatments create an intimate experience for performers and each member of the audience.

A|r has collaborated with music education advocates and community leaders to support accessible and inclusive arts education and lifelong learning. From the Community Music School, to Canisius High School, to Buffalo State College, to the School of Communication, Media and the Arts at SUNY Oswego, these efforts have created spaces where young learners can discover and expand their passion for performance.

Happy Music in Our Schools Month!

Waterways

Our great waterways create a sense of place and connect us to the industrial heritage of our region. We have teamed with community stakeholders to build inviting civic spaces and bolster community engagement within these important spaces.

Flex Classrooms

We know that a learning experience has as much to do with our environment as it does the teachers and students that create those experiences. After the past year, we have all gained a profound appreciation of how important these are to foster development and ignite a love for learning.
