The Concert Hall
A lavishly appointed, state-of-the-art concert hall designed specifically for acoustical music featuring adjustable acoustics, video monitoring throughout the facility, audio and video recording capabilities, and a catering/serving area in main lobby and in mezzanine lobby. Acoustical engineering was provided by the nationally renowned acoustical engineering firm of WJHW [Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc.] of Dallas
It seemed important to me that the form of the building respond to acoustics, rather than for the acoustics to respond to the limitations of the building. The space you see here today emerged directly from an enlightened understanding of the requirements of acoustics. Raymond Burroughs, architect
