CHANCELLOR'S COURT / BIRMINGHAM
UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM

Glenn Howells Architects have been appointed by the University of Birmingham to build a 450-seat concert hall on the University's campus. This auditorium, with its associated research, teaching and rehearsal facilities, will house the Department of Music and will complete the redbrick semi-circle of buildings which have been the heart of the University since 1909.

The auditorium will be the most flexible performance space at a UK university and suitable for performances from solo voice through electroacoustic music, to a full symphony orchestra.

Other resources will include the Dome rehearsal room and new electroacoustic music studios in which the Music Department's international community of undergraduates and postgraduates can work in cutting-edge facilities.
