Ravinia Festival is pleased to announce the opening of The Harrison building within the Ravinia campus. An unveiling will be held on June 10 at Ravinia from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
The new building was funded by the Building the Future of Reach Teach Play campaign, designed to achieve two goals:
To provide the festival’s Reach Teach Play music education and engagement programs with the underpinning they need as they grow and inspire more children and families than ever before
To develop The Harrison, a building on the Ravinia campus that will become the nexus of Reach Teach Play by creating much-needed office space for staff through the renovation of an existing structure
The campaign was successfully completed in early 2023, shortly after construction began on The Harrison in the fall of 2022. Today, the building houses the Reach Teach Play offices as well as provides an updated workspace for the festival’s facilities and guest services efforts, and will serve as the beating heart of Ravinia, focused on bringing the joy of music that the festival feels in the park out to communities with fewer cultural options.
