University of Minnesota, Weber Music Hall
Duluth, Minnesota, USA
Theatre Projects
The unique dome shape serves to increase the volume of the hall, so that large ensembles do not overpower the small room. A clear skylight, 2 feet wide by 114 feet long, splits the copper roof along the centerline of the hall, spilling sunlight into the space by day and projecting the interior light into the sky at night.
