This paper reports on the design and on the extensive acoustical testing in the laboratoryand in the halls themselves. Impedance tube and reverberation chamber data were obtained for materialsand components of the auditoria. Reverberation time, pulse tests, and other objective measurements weremade in the halls as they approached con~pletionT. he project culminated in a test concert attended by about1800 people, including 11 expert observers who afterward participated in a discussion of the acousticalproperties of the hall.
