In Wuhan, the Hubei province's capital with 8 million inhabitants, a new concert hall was opened with great success in September 2009 after three years of construction. The building with its modern shape and foyer houses a symphonic hall for an audience of 1,600. Its architectural design was inspired by traditional concert halls while achieving the same acoustical quality. The hall's acoustics is also excellent for the sound of the grand concert organ with 67 stops, built by Klais Orgelbau in Bonn, Germany.
In addition to the symphonic hall, the building also houses a chamber music hall for an audience of 420, a large orchestra rehearsal hall and additional rehearsal rooms for the Wuhan State Orchestra.

In this building project, Müller-BBM Building Solutions was responsible for planning the room acoustics as well as building acoustics, and in this way also contributed to the hall's design. Not only did Müller-BBM perform acoustical calculations and simulations, sightline studies as well as consulting services concerning stage design and stage acous-tics, but also did they execute acoustical measurements in 1:10 scale models. During the construction phase, regular inspections took place with the construction quality of all acoustically relevant compo-nents being examined and thus ensured.
