St. Paul Episcopal Cathedral

The choir at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral lacked suitable space for rehearsal, recording and storage.

This project took an existing basement level consisting of offices and storage and transformed it into a new home for the cathedral choir. With specialized floor and ceiling systems specified by an acoustical engineer, the space was customized for musical performance. The music instrument storage problems were solved by the installation of a track-mounted rolling shelf system. The shelves are easily moved by turning a crank, and their contents are illuminated by strip lights embedded in the ceiling. Choir members also have custom wardrobe lockers and additional storage reached by a rolling ladder. Further improvements include a recording studio, a cutting-edge sound system, and a bank of new restrooms.
