The Libby Gardner Concert Hall is a 1,000 seat performing arts hall delicately furbished with acoustical products created to enhance the audiences' experience.  The hall's ceiling consists of one and a half inch thick GRG (Glass-Reinforced Gypsum) panels and one inch thick GRG drop walls.

The lower elevations are made up of fine crafted wood panels.  The steps and angles in the GRG panels are designed to roll the sound down the stage and project it out to the seating area, thus during live performances, filling the room with the defined sounds of the performers and their music. 

In order to meet requirements and desired effects for each specific musical performance, the sidewalls can be raised and lowered to reveal the acoustical panels.
