The Hult Center is located downtown on Willamette Street between 6th & 7th Avenues, adjacent to the Graduate Eugene (previously Hilton Eugene) and Conference Center. Built using funds that were approved by voters in 1978, the Hult Center and the Hilton were completed in 1982 as part of the same urban renewal project.
The Hult Center is operated by the City of Eugene and is one of two performing arts venues owned by the City. Cuthbert Amphitheater, located in Eugene's Alton Baker Park, is also owned by the City and is operated by Kesey Enterprises.
Twenty-seven architectural firms competed for the opportunity to design the center, but in the end, the Eugene City Council awarded the contract to the New York firm of Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. The firm had previously designed the $7.5-million, 2,700-seat MinneapolisOrchestra Hall and the $13-million Boettcher Concert Hall at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
The Hult Center houses 2 performance halls, a meeting venue and a variety of public art:
Silva Concert Hall, 2,448 seats
Soreng Theater, 495 seats
The Studio, capacity 200
Jacobs Community Room
The Cuthbert Amphitheater, in Eugene's Alton Baker Park, approximately 5,000 seats.
