krM completed a master plan for a new quad combining building designs for the expansion of the Anderson University Music Department to include a new recital hall and support spaces. The York Performance Hall & Galleries provides additional visibility on a major thoroughfare of the campus and elevates the awareness of art, music, performance and education in one place. The musicians, students, and faculty at Anderson University had a vision for a place that fostered collaboration and learning alongside professionals.
Designing a Hall That Honors
This 350-seat recital hall provides a place to showcase senior recitals during the day, and world class opera singers in the evening. The York family, avid art collectors, also felt passionate about providing space for art exhibition within the hall.
As major donors to the project, the Yorks have elevated the visibility of the university’s music department to the regional community while also securing a home for art within the hall’s Sallman Gallery.
