The construction work lasted seven months, from July 2012 to February 2013. The remodeling was designed by Lee Chung-gi, a professor of the Dept. of Architecture. The heating equipment and fire protection system were reinforced through this construction. Moreover, the ceiling which covered the inner structure of the roof was removed, and the wooden roof was exposed. Therefore, people who use the hall can feel the original beauty of this facility.

There was a controversy during the alteration of the hall about whether the purpose should be changed from showing the performances to a meeting room for professors. However, Birch Hall’s original usage has not changed. Thanks to this remodeling, people who use this hall can expect to enjoy performances of better quality.
