This multi-use facility is intended to anchor a revitalization of the once industrial waterfront area in this northern Denmark city. The dynamic architectural design was awarded to the architectural firm of Coop Himmelb(l)au, Vienna, Austria in 2003.

The feature of the facility is a 1,200 seat concert hall, equipped with adjustable acoustics features to allow the acoustical environment to be optimized to a wide variety of musical genres. The facility also includes practice, storage, and administrative facilities for the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra, music practice and teaching facilities for the local music conservatory, facilities for the Design and Architecture School of the Aalborg University, a 300-seat flat floor multi-purpose space, and public spaces.

The building is currently in final phases of design and is scheduled for construction in 2006.

Eric Seifert served as project manager for the project while at a previous firm and was responsible for development and coordination of all acoustics and performance systems design.
