Emory University, The Donna and Marvin Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts

Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Threshold Acoustics

This 90,000 square foot facility provides a central space for Emory’s rapidly growing performing arts programs. The center’s shoebox concert hall has a choral balcony, orchestra pit, and a custom-built pipe organ.

The center’s 125-seat dance studio includes a sprung floor and serves as a classroom, rehearsal space, and performance space. A flexible 135-seat theatre lab features an overhead pipe grid, adjustable seating and stage, full light and sound control booth, and a theatre observatory where students can study the performances below. Elsewhere in the center, a rehearsal room, art gallery, warm-up room, student lounge, and “smart” classrooms round out a robust suite of spaces.
