Architecture

The building, designed by BDP Glasgow, was built in steel and glass at a construction cost of £12.3m, [1] and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005. [2]

Auditorium

At the heart of the Perth Concert Hall building is a fully flexible 1,000 seat concert hall, the Gannochy Auditorium. The hall was clad in concrete with Swiss acoustic timber panels at the back of the stage. It features a shallow gallery. [1]

It was highly commended for the Scottish Design Awards for Best Building for Public Use in 2007. [3]
