Performance Hall, Performing arts center in Logan, Utah, United States.
The Manon Caine Russell Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall is a modern recital hall on the Utah State University campus in Logan. Designed by Boston firm Sasaki Associates with acoustics overseen by Artec Consultants, it is used mainly for student recitals from the Caine College of the Arts and houses the Fry Street Quartet.
The Performance Hall opened in 2006 and became a regional center for artistic performances in northern Utah. Since its opening, it has served as an important venue for the local arts community.
The hall is used mainly for student recitals by Utah State University's Caine College of the Arts. It also houses the Fry Street Quartet, the university's string-quartet-in-residence, and hosts a limited number of smaller touring productions. With the neighbouring Chase Fine Arts Center it forms part of the Fine Arts Complex on the Logan campus.
The hall stands beside the Chase Fine Arts Center on the Logan campus of Utah State University, forming part of the Fine Arts Complex. It is a recital venue rather than a theater, so visitors should check which student or touring program is scheduled before making the trip. Mechanical systems are mounted on pads and springs, so silence inside is expected during recitals.
The hall's name honours two alumnae sisters, Manon Caine Russell and Kathryn Caine Wanlass, whose 2006 gift made the building possible. All mechanical systems are mounted on pads or springs to prevent the slightest vibration or extraneous sound from reaching the auditorium.
