To accommodate expanding enrollment and the school's growing reputation as a top-flight arts conservatory, Mason Gross is constructing a new, 22,500-square-foot facility within its performing arts complex. The wraparound facility will meld existing venues into a cohesive and vibrant performing-arts hub and will feature Richard H. Shindell Choral Hall, a large public atrium featuring Cafe '52 coffee, sandwich, and sushi bar, and a technology studio for sound recording and engineering. It will also include the Presser Foundation Practice Studios for music, the Kevin Goetz Theater and Dance Studio and a suite of faculty and administrative offices for the Dance Department.
