Orchestra Hall, MinneapolisLocated at Nicolett Mall and 12th Street in Minneapolis, Orchestra Hall is home to the Minnesota Orchestra. The auditorium seats approximately 4,000, with most seating on the main floor. A fair amount of additional seating is present on the second floor, with only a few seats (and poorer ones at that) on the 3rd and 4th floors. The stage is unusual due to the large cube motif in the rear wall. The cubes were added for acoustic reasons, but have visual appeal as well. The lobby area was upgraded in the late 1990s and includes several bars. Expansive windows overlook the street. The exterior of the building is remarkable for its large, blue ventillation ducts. Their unusual size was chosen to reduce air velocities and hence noise.
