Kimball Recital Hall at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has been reimagined for the future ✨

Originally built in the 1970s, the venue underwent a full renovation and lobby expansion to enhance the visitor experience and modernize performance spaces. Upgrades included improved insulation, a new roof, and bird-friendly glass to address long-standing building issues.

Inside, the expanded lobby boosts circulation and event flexibility while honoring the original structure. The recital hall now features improved accessibility, new seating and finishes, upgraded lighting and acoustics, and enhanced AV capabilities.

Back-of-house and stage areas were also transformed, with safer layouts, new equipment, and improved performer comfort.

This revitalized space ensures Kimball Hall will continue to serve students, artists, and audiences for decades to come. 🎶
