The Pennsylvania Academy of Music in Lancaster has begun construction on a new $21 million facility designed by Philip Johnson and Alan Ritchie, the school announced.

The new building is the last arts facility created by Johnson, the legendary architect who built the New York State Theater and the Terrace Theater at the Kennedy Center. He died in 2005.

The 63,000-square foot building will include a 367-seat recital hall, a rooftop performance terrace, studios, classrooms, recording studios, a library, and other public spaces. Cyril Harris, an acoustician who has worked on the Metropolitan Opera House, the Kennedy Center, Avery Fisher Hall, and other major buildings, is responsible for the sound design.
