	Glasgow Royal Concert Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Concert Hall was a byproduct of Glasgow's 1990 City of Culture status, and was intended as a replacement for St. Andrews Hall, which had been destroyed by fire in 1964.
		The hall was seen as a major symbol of the city's regeneration after years of neglect and deprivation.
		The hall occupies a site at the junction of Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street, which was once home to the Glasgow NAAFI, and the former Parliamentary Road, which was rendered derelict after the building of Buchanan St. Bus Station in 1978.

		o reach the hall you must pass through sound lock corridors which are designed to prevent the confusion and noise from the lobby from spilling into the concert hall.
		To compliment this, the hall is adorned with more than 12,000 square feet of tempered glass made in England, the lobby of the hall orients itself toward the East and the former home of the Utah Symphony, the Salt Lake Tabernacle and Temple Square.

	CONCERT HALL ACOUSTICS
		In a concert hall, the important point to remember is that the volume of reflected sound should not be loud enough to be consciously heard, even when the tensions of the body have relaxed and the listener is hearing very loudly.
		A single measurement of the hall's reverberation time is meaningless since all four walls, the ceiling, and the reflectors (which amount to a sixth, irregular, reflecting surface) are made of materials with unnecessarily strong reflecting characteristics.
		A hall's acoustic is "bright" when an unequal transmission of the frequency spectrum favors the higher frequencies, i.e., in traveling from the stage to the listener, the balance of the higher to the lower frequencies changes, the higher frequencies becoming louder in proportion to the lower frequencies.
