Manhattan School of Music, Andersen Residence Hall and Performance Spaces

Located in Morningside Heights, amidst a collection of notable universities and religious institutions, Andersen Hall is a fully-realized campus for the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. The 19-story, mixed-use facility consolidates the different programs of the school — previously scattered in buildings throughout the neighborhood and beyond — into one vertical campus. The tower consists of 12 floors of student residences with a total of 517 beds, as well as the President's penthouse apartment and entertainment space, a library, and 58 practice rooms. The project also includes a parking garage, a public lobby and box office, and two donor-funded performance spaces: an intimate 150-seat recital hall with raked seating and a larger, flat-floor space that seats 200 and accommodates a wide range of performances. BBB's work at MSM includes both master planning and architectural realization in order to ensure that the design will accommodate future academic and residential needs.
