Stevensen Hall, constructed in 1917 is a key building in the Sheldon Jackson Collage Campus in Sitka.  The Campus was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001. The hall was purchased by the nonprofit Sika Summer Music Festival in the 2000’s and underwent an adaptive reuse and restoration 2016-2021 to become a Miner Music Center. The facility adaptive reuse design by NorthWind’s Historic Preservation Architect Sean Boily integrate key elements of restoration to uphold  the buildings historic position in the Sheldon Jackson Campus quad, coupled with enhancements to maximize energy saving performance and finish longevity.  The work changes the building from a dormitory to a mixed occupancy, combining apartments and dorm rooms for Festival participants, to assembly/performance spaces.
