Steven Holl Architects will design several arts facilities for Princeton University, the school announced yesterday. The project, which will occupy 135,000 square feet, will include a black box theater, dance, orchestral, and acting studios, and classrooms. The buildings will house the school’s dance and theater programs, portions of its music department, the Lewis Center for the Arts, and the Society of Fellows in the Creative and Performing Arts.
Preliminary plans for the new arts facilities were announced in January 2006. The school plans to develop other arts facilities, including an experimental media studio and a satellite for the Princeton University Art Museum. Architects for those projects have yet to be named.
Steven Holl Architects, in conjunction with the Extell Development Company, is one of five design teams to submit proposals for the development of the Hudson Rail Yards in Manhattan. In September 2007, the firm began renovation of New York University’s philosophy department. Mr. Holl is a professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture and Planning.
