Archicritic Lynn Becker checks in with the under-construction Bienen School of Music building at the lake edge of Northwestern's Evanston Campus. Designed by Goettsch Partners, the $117M music school consolidation will feature two distinct structures joined by a curtain wall and housing a 400 seat recital hall, 150 seat rehearsal hall, and many practice, classroom, and administrative spaces. The project is shooting for LEED Silver and is expected to open in 2015. [ArchitectureChicago PLUS, previously]
