The music building at the University of Pennsylvania underwent some major changes over the past year. While students enjoyed walking through the halls, hearing the sounds of vocal performances and musical instruments they were often thwarted by one problem – sound from outside.
The new building features three formal classrooms, nine new rooms dedicated to practice, a state of the art recording studio, and a computer lab. The building was, of course, modeled with state of the art soundproofing materials – ensuring the sounds of helicopters and ambulances in this bustling district are no longer a disturbance.
