Follow Along with the Powell Hall Expansion and Renovation
August 9, 2023
This week brought a milestone for the expansion and renovation of Powell Hall. After months of excavation, drilling, and site preparation, the construction team poured the basement slab for the new back of house expansion. This part of the expansion will contain musicians and guest artist services, including a new music library, practice rooms, and recording suites, maintaining the SLSO as an international destination for the world’s top artists.
Meanwhile, underground plumbing work is taking place throughout the space as the renovation prepares to add many more restrooms and concession areas.
