The Woodruff Arts Center currently houses Symphony Hall where all of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra concerts are held. Unfortunately, it has a reputation for poor acoustics which do not do the Symphony or other performers any justice. Thus, a new master plan for the Woodruff Arts Center has been approved and a brand new concert hall is the highlight of the project.

Not only will the new concert hall provide an adequate venue for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, but it will also change the overall appearance of the Woodruff Arts Center, a 41-year-old building in Atlanta.
