Alice Tully Hall at 1941 Broadway is part of Lincoln Center. Pietro Belluschi designed the Juilliard building that opened on September 11, 1969, with Eduardo Catalano and Helge Westermann. The article calls the original Brutalist, built of steel and concrete with travertine veneer. Diller Scofidio + Renfro and FXFOWLE renovated it from April 2007, and it reopened in February 2009. The result blends Brutalist and Post-Modern elements.
The hall seats 1,086. The renovation expanded the lobby from 5,157 to 9,468 square feet (480 to 880 m²) and added a patron's salon. Acoustic panels use translucent resin and moabi wood, the walls are muirapiranga wood and the lobby floors are Portuguese limestone. A 4,192-pipe organ dates from 1975.
The hall is home to the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The city declined to designate it a landmark in 2005. The article gives no hours.
