Tribute Communities Recital Hall


The Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre, Accolade Project, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre is part of The Accolade Building Project at York University. Opened in March 2006, the complex is the new home for the Music Department, Dance Department and The Art Gallery of York University. This multi-faceted mixed-use facility was built on an extremely aggressive schedule under a guaranteed maximum price contract.

The Theatre is an intimate performance space with seating for 350, which is spread out over the main floor and a single balcony that wraps alongside the walls of the theater. It features a rigging system that accommodates opera and theater productions, and is also equipped to stage modest musical theater and dance performances.

In addition to Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre, The Accolade Building features a Tribute Communities Recital Hall, a dance studio/small performance space for 100 patrons, rehearsal spaces - each dedicated to orchestra, choir, percussion and world music respectively - and a series of practice studios for teaching and rehearsals. Acting and choreography studios, computer-aided composition and editing rooms, screening rooms of various sizes, and a fully equipped digital recording studio are connected to all of the larger rehearsal and performance spaces.

Artec provided Design and Planning services covering auditorium Design, Facility Planning, Specialized Performance Equipment Systems Design and Noise & Vibration Control consulting at York University in Toronto. Architects for this project are Zeidler Partnership Architects / Bregman & Hamann Architects (Joint Venture).
