Listening to the structure: Mass-timber construction at the Groton Hill Music Center

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Historically, Western music spaces were built with massive masonry-bearing walls. While these designs offer structural and acoustical benefits, today’s construction culture is conscious of more fluid forms and embodied carbon, which influences how consultants think about the design of spaces for music. The recently completed Groton Hill Music Center is
