Anne Minors Performance Consultants was responsible for the auditorium theatre consulting, and Sound Space Design was responsible for acoustics design, both working in close collaboration. The two companies led by principals Anne Minors and Robert Essert, were immensely helpful and flexible, respectful of the financial challenges and cultural priorities. They were always available and attentive to our challenging project.
