UNIVERSITY OF KENT - THE COLYER-FERGUSSON MUSIC BUILDING

PROJECT OVERVIEW The bespoke hall was designed to be a purpose-built, flexible performance space that can accommodate a wide range of musical activities. SOLUTION The two banks of retractable seating were designed to allow the hall to be able to accommodate everything from intimate chamber recitals to large-scale choral and orchestral concerts. When functioning at full concert capacity, there is seating for around 400 audience members, a 200-strong chorus, and up to an 80-piece orchestra. Once the retractable units are closed, the hall can accommodate up to six hundred audience/performers combined.
