鲍威尔大厅独奏厅
1941年3月，第一夫人埃莉诺·罗斯福将鲍威尔大厅作为第一个校园图书馆。 VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩 is the recipient of a 2022 Excellence in Rehabilitation Award from The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation annually recognizes significant contributions to the preservation of Georgia’s historic resources.
vs上’s Powell Hall renovation project was one of 10 Excellence in Rehabilitation Award recipients honored during the 45th annual Preservation Awards in Augusta.
“We are proud of this statewide recognition, as it showcases our dedication to historic properties on campus,” said Alan Sanderson, associate director of Facilities Planning at vs上.
鲍威尔大厅最初建于1940年，作为校园图书馆。 It featured a Spanish Colonial Revival style and was funded through United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Works Progress 政府, an American New Deal program. 第一夫人埃莉诺·罗斯福是当时学校校长弗兰克·罗伯逊·里德的朋友，她于1941年3月为新图书馆举行了落成典礼。
Today, more than eight decades later, Powell Hall has a renewed purpose as a teaching-learning-performance space for vs上’s Department of Music faculty, staff, and students. 翻新后的设施包括学生聚会空间、练习室、中等室内乐合奏排练室、会议室、爵士合奏室、音乐教育室、可容纳200人的独奏厅、价值约50万美元的新钢琴等等。
“The beautiful and historic Powell Hall is the pride of Georgia Avenue,” said Dr. Isrea Butler, head of the Department of Music. “This is definitely the finest music building that I’ve seen. Featuring stunning artwork and amazing acoustics, it is sure to be sought after as a model for future music facilities.”
格鲁吉亚大会拨款440万美元翻新鲍威尔大厅，这是一个内部修复和适应性再利用项目，以支持音乐系的功能。 vs上设施规划开发了工作范围，并选择了Macon的Dunwody/Beeland建筑公司和Marietta的Flynn Finderup建筑公司来设计方案和规范，并选择了Valdosta的SC Barker建筑公司作为总承包商。
设计于2018年10月开始。 鲍威尔大厅于2021年1月重新向大学社区开放。
桑德森说，在任何设计工作开始之前，他的团队必须完成广泛而详尽的研究，以更好地了解这座建筑的历史。
“We discovered the original 1940 building had multiple additions, renovations, and uses over the decades that followed,” he shared.
Powell Hall’s most significant renovation occurred in 1978 after •奥德姆库 was built on the south end main campus.
“The original Powell Hall reading room became a tiered lecture hall, and the book stack areas in each wing were converted to administrative space,” Sanderson added.
桑德森说，鲍威尔大厅改造项目的最大挑战是将以前的大容量阅览室改造成一个独奏厅。 他说，最初的功能并不是为了传达和投射声音。 图书馆阅览室的设计初衷恰恰相反。
“To develop the space to meet its new function the acoustics had to be fine-tuned by a carefully engineered application of absorbent roof deck panels and clear acrylic reflector panels suspended above the new stage,” he explained. “Tunable wall panels were added between the windows. The adjustable wall panels enable users to switch the acoustical characteristics of the space to suit small groups, large ensembles, brass ensembles, or string quartets.”
长号教授、瓦尔多斯塔交响乐团（Valdosta Symphony Orchestra）执行总监、前音乐系系主任道格·法威尔（Doug Farwell）博士说，在鲍威尔大厅（Powell Hall）翻新项目之前，音乐系唯一可用的校内表演空间是美术大楼（Fine Arts Building）的怀特黑德礼堂（Whitehead Auditorium）。 新的独奏厅使教师和学生更容易安排独奏会，而不会与校园内的任何其他表演艺术活动发生冲突。
“The redesign of Powell Hall created a beautiful new collaborative and creative space for teaching, practice, and performance for our students, faculty, and guest artists,” said A. Blake Pearce, dean of the 艺术学院. “We were fortunate to be able to design a space that recognized the historical significance of the building as well as address the many requirements for a contemporary music facility to work efficiently.
“We are proud to be the new tenant of this great building and look forward to being the next chapter in the legacy of Powell Hall. We hope that this building will serve as a point of pride for the university, for the region, and for all the citizens of the state of Georgia.”
