The First of Its Kind: Liberty University's Multi-Modal Concert Hall

The 1,600-seat Concert Hall at Liberty University is unique in its ability to accommodate every conceivable form of musical presentation - ranging from intimate natural acoustic concerts to large amplified events. The client’s desire to showcase the broad range of ways music resides within the campus setting sparked the design of what is considered the first multi-modal concert hall in the U.S. This “phygital” space, which can be physically and digitally altered to support any type of performance, can be transformed from a wood-lined room designed for acoustic events to a less reverberant space that embraces amplification and the ever-expanding possibilities of digital music-making.
