Architecture
The building, designed by BDP Glasgow, was built in steel and glass at a construction cost of £12.3m,[1] and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005.[2]
Auditorium
At the heart of the Perth Concert Hall building is a fully flexible 1,000 seat concert hall, the Gannochy Auditorium. The hall was clad in concrete with Swiss acoustic timber panels at the back of the stage. It features a shallow gallery.[1]
It was highly commended for the Scottish Design Awards for Best Building for Public Use in 2007.[3]
