University of Missouri-Columbia, Sinquefield Music Center

Project Description

Client: University of Missouri- Columbia
Location: Columbia, MO
Surface Area: 43,000 ft2
Year Completed: 2019
Architect:Andrew Mixdorf, BNIM Architects

The Details

This new School of Music Building began with the demolition of existing structures at the site. This 42,814 square foot building was designed to provide optimum acoustic facilities for numerous types of performances, practices and and classes.

Sound isolation and noise control through special acoustical materials and construction was given special attention on this project.  Room acoustics are balanced by the room shape, volumes, surface finishes and backup construction of walls, ceilings, and floors to ensure a beautiful, acoustic environment.  Specific concerns included the projection and distribution of sound, control of echo and flutter, communication among performers, and appropriate level of loudness and reverberation for the specific use of each room.  Design features allow for flexibility and adaptability to emerging trends and needs.

Structurally, the project included cast in place spread footings, cast in place columns and a cast in place superstructure. Other structural components included CMU load bearing walls, precast concrete panel exterior walls, and structural steel columns and a steel framed roof.  There are three occupied levels and a fourth-floor penthouse.

Mechanical work included vibration control for the VAV’s and air handling units.  Ductwork included silencers for acoustical treatment and elimination of HVAC system noise.

The new school of music has specific conduit routing restrictions and included all LED lighting and addressable fire alarm system.

The University’s website describes the facility as follows:
