Bing Concert Hall, Modern concert hall at Stanford University, United States.

Bing Concert Hall is a Stanford University performing arts building that opened in January 2013, designed by Richard Olcott of Ennead Architects. Its oval hall seats 842 in vineyard-style terraces around the stage, with the centre section starting at stage level and every seat within 75 feet of the conductor. The pale beige, vertically panelled upper volume rises in rounded overlapping forms above a glass-walled base divided by dark mullions; a sign wall at the left reads "BING CONCERT HALL" and "327 LASUEN STREET".

Bing Concert Hall opened in January 2013 at a construction cost of $111.9 million. Peter S. Bing, Stanford class of 1955, and his wife Helen gave the lead gift of $50 million; the hall is named after Peter's father, the son of Leo S. Bing. Richard Olcott of Ennead Architects designed the building, with acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics.

The hall is named after Peter S. Bing (Stanford 1955) and Helen Bing, whose $50 million lead gift made construction possible. Stanford Live programs the venue, and the smaller Bing Studio on the north side can be set up for cabaret, club or theater formats rather than concert seating.

The hall stands on Lasuen Street, facing a paved plaza with bare trees in front of the glass-walled base; the entrance sign reads "BING CONCERT HALL" and "327 LASUEN STREET". The oval auditorium places every seat within 75 feet of the conductor, and the centre-section seats start at stage level. The smaller Bing Studio on the north side can be set up for cabaret, club or theatre formats.

The hall is named after Peter S. Bing (Stanford 1955) and Helen Bing, whose $50 million lead gift helped fund a building that cost $111.9 million. Acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics, who also worked on Walt Disney Concert Hall, tuned the room. The 842 seats sit in terraces around the stage, and the centre block starts at stage level.
