Buddy Holly Hall is a 220,000-square-foot performing arts center in Lubbock, Texas, designed to serve professional, educational, and community audiences. The facility includes multiple venues and support spaces that accommodate a wide range of programming. Jaffe Holden, a Trinity Consultants team, provided acoustics, AV, and IT design to enable performance flexibility and long-term adaptability.

Vision

The project was designed as a multi-venue cultural destination that supports symphonic music, theater, and community events. Acoustic and system strategies were developed to provide flexibility across all performance types. Looking ahead, the facility continues to support evolving programming and touring productions with adaptable infrastructure.

Partnership

The design team, including Diamond Schmitt Architects, MWM Architects, and Schuler Shook, collaborated to deliver a cohesive performing arts complex. Jaffe Holden worked closely with all stakeholders to integrate acoustic and AV systems within each venue.

Services Performed
