Hult Center for the Performing Arts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hult Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts facility in Eugene, Oregon, first opened in 1982.
27 architectural firms competed for the opportunity to design the Center, but in the end the Eugene City Council awarded the contract to the New York firm of Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. The firm had previously designed the $7.5-million, 2,700-seat Minneapolis Orchestra Hall and the $13-million Boettcher Concert Hall at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
