part of PUBLIC SCHOLARS INSTITUTE PROJECT

FALL 2012

Instructors: Susan Jones

Project coordinator: Sharon Sutton

Center for jazz education is one of the four buildings comprising the Public Scholars Institute. The Center is located in Central District, between the historic Washington Hall and St. George hotel. The location forces the designer to address such issues as the placement of a contemporary project in a historic context and aesthetic response to the neighborhood’s cultural heritage.

The Center will provide spaces for jazz education, dormitory for the visiting musicians, performance space, and a restaurant and jazz bar on the ground level, which extend into the street and the courtyard.
