This will be for the students to learn and practice Eurythmy, and will need a piano and sound-tight doors. Because people are moving about, and occasionally jumping, this space shouldn’t be above anything that needs peace and quiet! To be used as a music space, the acoustics must be considered, since Eurythmy will need a hard smooth floor. Adjacency to the hall could be considered. Storage space is needed for instruments and other equipment.

Here students will work mostly with hand tools. The facility will need lots of work bench space as well as storage space for wood.
