Onondaga Community College, Academic II Addition (School of Music and Performing Arts)

The Onondaga Community College Academic II Addition is a unique project that makes use of previously unusable land and connects two significant buildings on the Onondaga Community College campus. Showing off steel members and connections throughout, this structure traverses an 80-foot-deep gorge that was formally an impassive divide through the middle of campus. The project is composed of a variety of performing arts learning, assembly and practice spaces, while physically linking the campus’s two halves.
