Working closely with a Historic Tax Credit Consultant, WMF created a cohesive complex for the Music Conservatory through a thoughtful combination of historic preservation with new construction. Renovation of the existing spaces accommodates large group areas and individual practice rooms while a reflectiveglass curtainwall ties the three buildings together and creates anew entry for the Musical Arts Center.

WMF utilized Federal and State level tax credits to identify opportunties that allowed the creation of the needed new expansion while also designating landmark status for two of the three buildings, and designing within the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the treatment of Historic Properties.
