The Ryan Center for the Musical Arts
The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Center for the Musical Arts at Northwestern University is situated on the lakefront, adjacent to Regenstein Hall of Music. Designed by Chicago-based architectural firm Goettsch Partners, the Ryan Center houses teaching studios, faculty and administrative offices, 10 classrooms, 99 practice rooms, and three state-of-the-art performance spaces. The design features a limestone base supporting an exterior that is primarily glass, taking maximum advantage of the site’s lakefront location and views of the Chicago skyline. Photo by Daniel M.
