The San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Bowes Center is a dynamic social and cultural destination that melds musical education, performance, and public experience. The new building, designed as a “vertical campus” incorporates housing, dining, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, performances spaces, faculty offices, and a radio station under one roof. This rich program is consciously stacked in order to minimize footprint while maximizing impact on the Conservatory’s educational mission. Set within the historic Civic Center's cultural and arts district, the Bowes Center asserts itself while also blending into the context through compatible materials and proportions that respect its historic surroundings.
