Architecture
The Chan Centre was a collaborative project between three companies; Bing Thom Architects from Vancouver created the overall building design, Artec Consultants in New York designed the concert hall and acoustic specifications and Theatre Projects Consultants designed the studio theatre.
Heading the team of architects was Vancouver's own Bing Thom. ARTEC’s team was led by world renowned acoustician, Russell Johnson. Together Johnson and Thom worked to design the Chan Centre from the inside out in order to create optimum acoustics for the concert hall.
