Abstract:

Smith describes how Meymandi Concert Hall, the new home of the North Carolina Symphony in the BTI Center for the Performing Arts, was built and engineered to give each of the 1,700 concert-goers the highest quality of sound possible. For example, at the back of the hall, walls are angled to better reflect sound.

Abstract:

The phasing out of public school auditoriums in North Carolina marks the end of an era for some. Auditoriums were most often used for morning assemblies that set the tone for the day, but were also often used as venues for gatherings and cultural performances. Many public schools have converted these auditoriums to classrooms, libraries, and kindergarten departments. These assemblies created a unifying morale among the student body.
