The transformation of Tyler Hall provides consolidated space for the newly formed School of Communication, Media and the Arts. In response to Pfeiffer’s master plan and precinct concept which encompasses two fully renovated buildings and a new addition, Tyler Hall's renovation represents the first phase. Improvements to the 100,000-sf, 1965 building include a dramatic new lobby connecting to an enhanced art gallery, a large instrument rehearsal hall that doubles as a recital hall for ensemble performances, practice rooms, music classrooms and upgrades to the 525-seat Waterman Theater. It also includes a new digital arts lab, new collaborative spaces and an elevator, making the building fully accessible. In addition, Phase 1 includes significant façade upgrades for portions of the building; providing new entrances and large 1st floor windows enhancing the exterior experience of the building while providing a lobby filled with natural light. The new building entry now faces the entry to the campus and the arts precinct.
