Designing for World Class Performing Arts Education

Our team, in collaboration with Robert A M Stern Architects, has unveiled the Timashev Family Music Building and the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts Building at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

Completed in 2022 and 2023 respectively, the new buildings are now equipped to host world-class performers and members of the Columbus community.

The Timashev Family Music Building features a 190-seat recital hall that is acoustically tunable for chamber music, classrooms, offices, a recording studio, a 3,775-SF rehearsal hall, and piano repair shop. It also incorporates the renovated 700-seat Weigel Auditorium.

The Department of Theater, Film and Media Arts Building is centered around a 444-seat proscenium theatre and a 202-seat multi-form thrust theater.

With over 200,000 SF across the two buildings, The Ohio State University is equipped to meet the diverse needs of its performing arts students and faculty.

The team at DLR Group has been instrumental in our effort to design and open the new School of Music here at Ohio State. Their problem-solving skills have guided us through countless difficult decisions throughout the design process. Additionally, their professionalism and patience have been critical to the successful navigation of a university decision making process."
