Division 9 Flooring floors University of Washington’s Meany Hall Stage

Meany Hall gets makeover by Division 9 Flooring
University of Washington’s Meany Hall is considered one of the northwest’s premiere performance facilities. It was originally known as Auditorium Hall, but the name was changed in 1909 to Meany Hall to honor Edmond S Meany, a University of Washington graduate who played a huge part in getting many of the buildings on the campus. In 1958, the hall underwent a $75000.00 renovation. An earthquake in 1965 revealed the hall was unsafe. A new hall was built in 1974 at a cost of moe than seven million dollars.

The University of Washington was built in 1861 and has one of the most highly regarded medical schools in the world. Division 9 Flooring is honored to be asked to assist in the renovation of Meany Hall. The hall houses the Meany Theatre which is well known for its superior acoustics. The hall’s calendar is full of performances, lectures, and artists. The stage is in continual use so the flooring is very important. We recently completed an update on the flooring and are very proud of the results. The show must go on and the flooring must stand up.

University of Washington's Many Hall gets new stage floor

Division 9 Flooring provides many of our area schools with flooring, including Lakeside School, where Bill Gates and Paul Allen met, and Northwest School on Capitol Hill. What could be more important than education? So when the University of Washington enlisted our services, we knew their level of excellence needed to be reflected in our work. Fortunately, Division 9 Flooring has the same high standards of excellence. Studies show that flooring can have a major impact on education and the arts. Knowing the flooring we provided at UW’s Meany Hall would endure countless performances inspired us. Harry Belafonte himself will be standing on that stage as will numerous dancers, performers and lecturers. We are very happy to be a part of a project that impacts so many.
