Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Silk Street Building
London, UK
Paul Cochrane
By 2004 the fabric of their main auditorium and music theatre was showing wear and tear, and location of some of the equipment also prevented the rapid change of settings needed for the halls’ operation. The school decided to renovate and upgrade the facilities to keep the hall in line with their internationally high standards for excellence.
