这是由Goettsch Partners设计的西北大学赖安中心。这是一座音乐和通信教学楼，位于西北大学Pick-Staiger演奏厅和Regenstein音乐厅的南面，是埃文斯顿校区的东南端。该建筑是标志性的设施，正对着密歇根湖和新艺术花园。该建筑的外观与Regenstein音乐厅保持协调。

建筑平面为动态的Z型布局，将艺术花园的东边与密歇根湖的西边连接起来。大型中庭划分了这种形式，提供了主入口和聚集空间，并能欣赏湖面风光。该建筑以LEED金牌认证为目标，提供了多种多样的创意元素，包括双层幕墙和灰水系统。所有空间均满足声学要求，包括歌剧合唱排练室和独奏室。

From the architect. The new music and communication building is located just south of Northwestern University's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall and Regenstein Hall of Music, on the southeastern edge of the Evanston campus. Sited on a prime parcel fronting Lake Michigan and a new arts green, the building is envisioned as a signature facility. Designed to wrap and connect with Regenstein Hall, the building enables the School of Music to consolidate its programs for the first time ever.

The dynamic, Z-shaped plan of the building mass defines the eastern edge of the arts green then jogs to the western edge of the lake. A large atrium divides this form, providing the main entry and gathering space and offering clear views of the lake. Targeted for LEED Gold status, the building offers a variety of innovative features including a double-skin facade and grey water system. All spaces met enormous acoustical requirements, including the opera rehearsal room and choral recital.

The recital hall is the building’s crown jewel. Featuring a 40-foot-high glass wall, the space sets performers against a dramatic backdrop of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.The detail needed to consider the overall acoustical challenges of a monumental 42’ x 40‘ glass wall and the resultant acoustical reflections within the recital hall. The vertical supports of the glass wall are hung from above and achieve their slenderness by using highly tensioned horizontal cables that are anchored to the recital hall’s massive concrete side walls.

Solar/blackout shades are hidden above the ceiling, contained within the accessible cavity so that they don’t interfere with the acoustics of the hall. The inner glass wall is tilted inward to prevent an echo from being heard by the audience. Acoustical banners can be employed inside the recital hall to fine tune the acoustics during a performance. The horizontal weaving wood ribbon panels of the recital hall were designed to absorb the sound reflections from the glass wall so that the entire room could work in harmony to create a unique vision opportunity without sacrificing acoustical performance.
