Talbot Hall is the pride of the University of Western Ontario, the home of its Faculty of Music. We, along with architect John Nicholson, were able to create a new building, the centre-piece of which is von Kuster Recital Hall, seen in the second image opposite.

Along with the recital hall - and just as important for a school of music - the building features a wide range of lecture halls and practice studios both big and small. That is, for anything from a large ensemble to a single student. Sound control between studios was a paramount concern, directed by us, of course, but embraced by the whole design team.

The university is very happy with the results. And, one hopes, the students are too.
