A shell arrangement with movable reflectors permits the staging of music events which require an intimate setting.

Seattle, Pacific Builder and Engineer, April 1962, p. 27) On the Fine Arts Pavilion: “The Fine Arts Pavilion is a permanent exhibition hall which will remain as part of the Seattle civic center after the World’s Fair…[It] contains 40-thousand square feet of unobstructed floor space. The vaulted ceiling rises 40 feet and the illumination is exceptionally good.” (Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 89.)
