Upon the completion of the gleaming new Hotel at Oberlin this summer, construction began underground for the conservatory’s latest venue: the William and Helen Birenbaum Innovation and Performance Space. A meeting and teaching space, a jazz club, and an intimate concert hall in one, the subterranean facility was designed to link the creative energies of the conservatory, college, and community. Take a look at the aerial blueprint of the sleek space and progress photos taken on August 12, 2016.
