Elder School of Music
University of Adelaide, South Australia
The Elder School of Music is housed in four buildings within the North Terrace campus of the University.
Woodhead was commissioned to determine the best fit of facilities, maximising the number of rehearsal and practice rooms. Once the best fit was agreed with the client, the team proceeded to document and convert the facilities.
Madley Building - houses two large rehearsal rooms and 11 practice rooms.
Hartley Building - makeover to the School Library and new administration facilities within the heart of the music campus.
Schulz Building (12 storey block) - houses six floors of the School of Music including teaching, practice and staff facilities.
The only works undertaken to the Elder Hall was a refurbishment of the existing practice rooms.
Acoustic isolation was required between practice rooms, necessitating meticulous sealing at the junctions between walls, floors and ceilings.
Working to a fixed budget, the program was split up into portions to tie in with University exams, holiday periods, and the Adelaide Festival. All three buildings were also brought up to current BCA and DDA requirements as part of the overall campus upgrading strategy.
