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, opened in 1982. It is located adjacent to the Eugene Hilton and the Eugene Community Conference Center, which were also completed in 1982 as part of the same urban renewal project. The Hult Center and the Community Conference Center were built using funds that were approved by voters in 1978.
Twenty-seven 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.
