In December 2009, the New York University program in music technology unveiled a new state-of-the-art music technology facility, a 7,500-square-foot multifunctional teaching, recording, and research space. The new Steinhardt School of Music complex is distinguished by the James L. Dolan Music Recording Studio, a 25-seat control/classroom that features a fully automated 48-channel SSL console and the first Dangerous Music 10.2 surround installation in New York City. The facility includes a live performance room large enough to accommodate a small orchestra, several research laboratories, offices, a conference/seminar room, and a large iso/drum booth.
