Carmel High School Performing Arts Center
The addition and renovation of the performing arts wing at Carmel High School creates a contemporary suite of rehearsal and performance spaces to serve Carmel music and theater programs for years to come.
Previously, Carmel High School’s Performing Arts Department environment was underperforming due to outdated and poorly arranged spaces. Expanding and rearranging rehearsal spaces brings the musical programs together, adding convenient storage for choir, band and orchestra. All spaces are equipped with mirrors to function as rehearsal spaces for a variety of performance groups. Practice rooms are relocated to the first floor with windows providing natural light, a feature rarely seen on older style rehearsal spaces.
