The Chan Center was made possible by a generous donation from businessmen Tom and Caleb Chan. It took two years to complete the project. The auditorium opened on May 11, 1997, at a cost of $25 million. The concert hall is particularly noteworthy because of its design for optimal sound reverberation. It is a true architectural masterpiece in which many established and up-and-coming artists perform throughout the years. The Chan Center, with its green façade, has also been a favourite with the cinema and television. It has been featured in Fringe, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica and Legion.
