Project Overview
Rational for Demolition of Gershwin Hall
• Gershwin building badly in need of repair and upgrade • Repair costs would likely be commensurate with new construction and still not meet needs • Building lacks: proper scene shop, acoustical separation between spaces, appropriate technology, contemporary teaching spaces • Spaces not appropriate for the uses and functions they serve • Negative impression in recruiting students and faculty Existing Gershwin Building LEONARD AND CLAIRE TOW PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
• Negative impression to the neighborhood Brooklyn College
