Speaking of the concrete pour, it began over the weekend. The latest from DPAC:

Wow!  I really hope this gets built.  Wow.  What an addition this would be to that area...  What an impact this would have.

An update on Steinmetz Hall

Are those acoustic baffles, or something?

Corrugated steel decking

Got that, but it seems to be enclosing chambers below that decking.

Possibly the individual hydraulic lifts that raise and lower the floor?

Isn't something like that one of the features of this building?

The floor is supposed to go from flat with the stage to having raked levels, like the floor in the small theatre does. As part of that flexibility, the seats get stored somewhere, and I think it was supposed to be under the floor somehow. 

[dcluley98]

Or the underfloor is for equipment to raise and lower the audience seats for this system, although I don't know how that would work with metal decking in place, maybe they plan to do cut-outs to accommodate the necessary supports. (I would assume some sort of hydraulic  actuation or whatnot). The stage itself, according to renderings, is above the audience level. I don't have plans or anything, but I would think that the understory is for equipment to make the variable floor function as well as HVAC coordination and possibly trap doors for magic tricks.

Every mention of the Steinmetz Hall floor in articles about it, said the exact same thing.... "The stage can be hydraulically lengthened, shortened or lowered to create a flat floor".  Apparently what we are seeing in the picture, is going to be beneath the stage area.

Any updates? I'm out on tour so normally I'd be working from time to there, but I'm going through a little withdrawal.

A couple updated shots of Steinmetz Hall coming out of the ground. 
 

This is the hall it self, the yellow forms being the envelope, the first vertical wall with snow fencing being where the front of the stage will be, and the farthest wall being the back of the stage. 

The closest wall here is a continuation of the Wave Wall separating the space from the lobby.  The yellow forms behind i will be the interior envelope.

Nearly certain the city allowed for a curve in the road to accommodate that pipe organ

Save the non-curve!!!

Well, this is true. Part of the deal was until the hall got one they could work with the church to use theirs. That organ was rebuilt strictly with private donations.
