New Auditorium for City Park Will Lead the New Bridge Environment
A design for the new city auditorium, to be built at the head of the city park, envisions a structure visible from the bridge area with a flush sidewalk and tree screening. The plan, accepted by the Auditorism association, aims to raise funds and have the project ready for the Fall Festival. The layout includes a 12 by 140 feet main auditorium, associated balconies, a 2490 seat main floor, and a 1712 seat upper balcony, with a 7-person stage and four committee rooms.
