If your travels take you to Bloomington, make sure to stop at the corner of Third Street and Jordan Avenue. The Hagerman Group is currently constructing a new building for the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Consistently ranked as one of the top schools of music in the country, this facility will give the school the additional space it desperately needs. The 85,000 square-foot building will provide approximately 100 studio rooms, for use by faculty and students for teaching and practicing.
The building was initially designed to control vibration and sound from one studio space to the next. The building’s columns and floors are constructed of concrete (performed by Hagerman’s Concrete division), and the shell consists of masonry block and limestone (performed by Hagerman’s Masonry division). Additional sound control details include floated wood subfloors, acoustical sealant and vibration isolation devices for mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment.
The sitework for the project takes into account that the building is located at one of the gateways to Indiana University’s campus, with a plaza at the corner of Third St. and Jordan Ave. When complete, this building will be a showcase piece for the Jacobs School of Music and Indiana University. Those occupying the space are very much looking forward to taking possession of their new building in time for the new school year in the Fall of 2013.
