THE LOCKHEED MARTIN LOBBY

The soaring 65-foot high fritted glass curtain wall in the Lockheed Martin Lobby looks out onto green wetlands by day and reflects light in the evenings to form a beautiful intricate pattern. Serving as the main entry point to the Concert Hall on the Orchestra level, there are two other adjoining lobby areas at the Promenade and Grand Tier levels which overlook this magnificent space. Doors at the Orchestra level open up to an adjacent Outdoor Terrace, which may be tented for private events. Banquet seating with dance floor ~ 190 | Standing reception ~ 275

THE COMCAST CIRCLES LOUNGE

Immediately adjacent to the Lockheed Martin Lobby, this private reception room is perfect for intimate gatherings. The curved shape of the room reflects the arc of the roofline, and the warmth of the wood and moss green carpeting from the Lockheed Martin Lobby carry through into the Lounge. A curved glass outer wall has doors which open to the Outdoor Terrace. Normally outfitted with a mix of comfortable couches and small cocktail tables, the space may be used as is, or transformed to a banquet-style reception area. A private curved bar with granite countertops services the Comcast Circles Lounge.
