Arium AE began working with Music and Arts representatives from the onset of the project to assist with the conceptualization of a collaborative space that met today’s modern office standards but could also accommodate Music and Arts’ technical studio requirements. The project team selected a three-story office at 5295 Westview Drive that had recently undergone exterior façade improvements as new Music and Arts’ new home. One floor was allocated for current and future office staff and a portion of the second floor was slated for a music studio and information technology equipment.
