The Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University is a five-story, 155,000-square-foot academic and performance facility located on the university’s southeast campus, overlooking Lake Michigan. The $90 million structure consolidates the School of Music’s functions into one modern space, housing instrumental and conducting studios, practice rooms, a rehearsal hall, and a recital hall.

This Waukegan Steel project uses custom steel fabrication for historical infrastructures. Our team implemented BIM and 3D modeling technology to coordinate with the contractor and woodworkers with exceptional precision. 75% of the steel was fabricated before conventional measurement would have even begun, allowing for a smooth and efficient construction process with exact alignment—including fixtures and finishes.
