Duffy Arts Center
Malvern, Pennsylvania
A new 600-seat theatre forms the core of this building which is wrapped by music classrooms and art studios to support the school’s vibrant performing and fine arts curricula. An 80-seat band rehearsal room, 50-seat chorus room, state-of-the-art recording studio and large set design studio comprise the performance ensemble, while 2D and 3D fine arts and ceramic studios serve the arts program. The generously proportioned lobby doubles as a gallery and reception space. The design combines an iconic, 100 foot clock tower with the mutulary Doric order to achieve a refined, masculine effect.
