Borland Center for Music and Theatre

Inspiring the faculty and students of Concordia University, the renovation and addition of the Concordia Music Center brings light to the quad and provides new resources for the nationally accredited Department of Music. The 15,000 square foot addition with tall, linear windows and modern precast panels is a $17.5 million project with state-of-the-art technology and adjustable acoustics to enhance the musical experience.

Designed in association with HDR, the renovation and addition contains a performance hall, choir and orchestra rehearsal rooms, 22 practice rooms,13 teaching studios, a recording studio, and space dedicated to music therapy. Additionally, a Black Box theater provides a first-class experience for performances. Flexible spaces allow new programs to be offered by the University. 

Sinclair Hille Architects has a longstanding relationship with Concordia University and has enjoyed working alongside their leadership to enrich learning environments on their campus. In 2017 we also had the pleasure of designing the Dunklau Center located just southeast of the music building. For more information about the Dunklau Center, please visit our projects page.

I enjoyed working with SHA on the Canopy Street Project.  It was a very complex project which required both large scale design thought as well as a focus on small details. Their professionalism impressed me as well as all of the other clients in the project from restaurants, to hotel operations through condo buyers, SHA continued to move the project forward and solve problems with all in mind.  As a licensed architect myself I really appreciated their willingness to partner with me and listen to my design ideas while improving the direction time and time again. Quite simply, Canopy Street would not have been nearly as successful without SHA’s talented staff.
