The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts is home to three separate theatres and several purposeful spaces for guests to enjoy all the Center has to offer. Baker Barrios contributed as Associate Architect for the 1,741-seat Steinmetz Hall, which has achieved widespread praise for its advanced design from other architects and performers alike.

Steinmetz Hall is one of the few theaters to receive an NI sound rating, the lowest level at which humans can detect sound. It is similarly distinct for its ability to transform in shape, seating, and sound, accommodating a variety of events with or without amplification.
