Research doesn't make it less of a turnoff
I really don't see how it being all wooden makes it bad, It's acoustic, it's an AUDITORIUM, not a THEATER, if it was a theater it would be different, but it has to echo and produce sound, and Personally, and everyone else, seems to love the Auditorium the way it is. Your stuff is brown too, but i'm not complaining. stuff is supposed to be brown, so is wood.
