Eastman School of Music Student Living Center

The Eastman School of Music Student Living Center is a 14-story residential tower in downtown Rochester with space for about 350 students. The building combines a tall residence section with a four-story courtyard area and includes practice rooms, study spaces, and a health office.

Built in 1990, the complex was designed to provide more housing for the growing student body at the music school. The combination of a tall tower with lower courtyard buildings reflected a strategy to maximize residential capacity while maintaining an open central space.

The residence brings together music students from around the world who practice and perform together in a shared community. Daily musical activity shapes life in the building, making collaboration and artistic exchange a natural part of living here.

The main entrance provides access to practice rooms, study areas, and support services arranged throughout the building for residents. Since this is primarily a residential building, visitors should check ahead about access, as not all areas are open to the public.

Each residential floor focuses on a specific theme where students with similar musical interests live together and organize shared activities. This arrangement creates smaller communities within the larger building and strengthens artistic partnerships among residents.
