C. U. T. opened before the scheduled date because of a flood.  One unique architectural feature is at the edge of the dome immediately inside the doors.  A person on the left where the base of the dome meets the floor can speak in a normal voice and be heard by a person on the right where the base of the dome meets the floor as the sound waves travel along the dome.  Kids tend to remember things like that.   John in Lansing, ILL

Because of the excellent acoustics, there was a large pipe organ installed in the concourse about 10-15 years ago. (Maybe even longer) The pipes are installed in chambers constructed behind the old ticket booths.  The sound rivals that of any cathedral. Probably better than most.  I'll have to get down there to check it out since the remodeling.
