Atlanta Symphony unveils design for new hall

"Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, the glass, steel and concrete structure will include a main hall with an audience capacity of 2000. It will be possible to raise or lower the auditorium’s roof – from 48 feet to 104 feet above the stage – depending on acoustic needs. Kirkegaard Associates are the acoustic consultants. A smaller studio hall will seat 300 people, while the rehearsal room can also seat up to 350 people
