The Rialto Theater and
renovation of the Haas Howell and Standard Office Buildings were
all part of a renovation project to accommodate the Georgia State
University School of Music. The old movie theater was acoustically
redefined to create a space suitable for chamber music and drama
presentations. Seating in the hall is designed for 1,000 patrons.
The lobby space was expanded and redefined to allow the school to
have a critical presence in the heart of Atlanta's Fairlie Poplar
Historic District.
