Ford Auditorium at Berry College

Originally constructed in 1928 at the direction of automaker Henry Ford, the recital hall is part of a series of English Gothic style buildings on the Berry College campus. The renovation of the historic auditorium transformed it into a premier recital hall combining modern acoustics with carefully restored details.

New oak tongue-and-groove radius ceiling and wood-carved acoustical paneling was added, and the lobby area was completely remodeled. The renovation also included new seating,  a redesigned balcony, new curtain systems, updated lighting and sound systems, instrument storage, an enlarged stage, and the restoration of historic features.
