for the repairs of the roof. Construction Governor General Roland Michener opened the Centennial Concert Hall 25 March 1968. The architects of the Hall were Green, Blankstein, Russell Assoc., Moody, Moore, Whenham & Partners, and Smith, Carter, Searle Associates, which are all located in Winnipeg. Theatre consultant George Izenour contributed to the design of the hall, and the acoustic engineering was by the firm of Bolt, Beranek & Newman Inc. The Winnipeg Architecture Foundation describes the design of the building as having a modern influence. The exterior design presents a balance of orthogonal lines and angles, glass and masonry, light cream and dark charcoal tones. The building's coloration complements and parallels those of the Winnipeg City Hall across Main Street – which also features Tyndall stone and deep grey masonry.
