That wood is part of the acoustics of that auditorium. If they were stupid enough to remove it they would lose one of the most acoustically attuned concert facilities in the world. It is known for its acoustics.

I'm speaking more of the lobby areas. The interior of the building is absolutely stunning.

Yes. The hall itself should only need cosmetic changes. Lobby, ancillary spaces, entry... they can be modernized but to be honest I love the way they are now.

I think this was Garwood-Jones' best work in the city.
