The William and Helen Birenbaum Innovation and Performance Space—“the Birenbaum”—is a club-like venue in the lower level of the Hotel at Oberlin. Built in 2016, the Birenbaum accommodates more than 100 guests. By day it serves as a teaching space; by night it features performances by conservatory students and guest artists.
