Symphony Hall is located within International Convention Centre. Artec Consultants Inc provided comprehensive consulting services for this facility, Britain's largest convention center, which opened in April 1991. The Centre features a total of 11 different halls, with extensive office and support facilities. This 2164-seat Concert Hall is the home of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, as well as a venue for touring entertainment groups and convention meetings. By the end of its first year, Symphony Hall was unanimously hailed as the finest hall in England and on par with the greatest halls of Europe. Intended primarily for classical music events, acoustic flexibility allows the Hall to be used for a wide range of events. One of the earliest members of Artec's acclaimed family of world-class concert halls, Symphony Hall features a few of Artec's signature adjustable acoustic elements including a mobilized multi-piece canopy and acoustic control chambers. The International Convention Centre, now one of the premier major meeting venues in Europe, has created new jobs and provides a welcome boost to employment prospects throughout the Midlands. In addition, the Centre draws tourists to the region, creating more business for city hotels, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. Artec collaborated on Pre-Design Phase services and lead the work on Symphony Hall (Hall 2) and the Conference Auditorium (Hall 1). Artec provided Design and Planning services covering Auditorium Design, Facility Planning, Specialized Performance Equipment Systems Design and Noise & Vibration Control consulting for the ICC. The architects of the International Convention Centre were Percy Thomas Partnership and Renton Howard Wood Levin.
