Spangler Auditorium

Located in the basement of Spangler Hall at Harvard Business School, this project replaced an existing space with a new tiered auditorium with a capacity of 200 seats and state-of-the-art audiovisual technology. The space was designed for graduate instruction and executive education programs. The design uses the ceiling plane as an architectural organizing tool through a series of flowing ceiling surfaces (petals) that define the character of each seating tier. Each petal integrates the lighting, audiovisual, and mechanical systems serving the room.
