You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.82.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

<!--[[Image:michiganhillinterior.jpg|thumb|200px|The renovated interior of the historic Hill Auditorium, hailed for its unusually fine acoustics.]]-->
'''Hill Auditorium''' is the largest performance venue on the [[University of Michigan]] campus, in [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]]. The auditorium was named in honor of Arthur Hill (1847-1909), who served as a regent of the university from 1901 to 1909. He bequeathed $200,000 (equivalent to $((Inflation|US|0.2|1909|r=1|fmt=c)) million in ((Inflation/year|US))) to the university for the construction of a venue for lectures, musical performances, and other large productions. Opened in 1913, the auditorium was designed by [[Albert Kahn (architect)|Albert Kahn]] and Associates. It was renovated by the same firm beginning in 2002 and was re-opened in 2004.

With seating for up to 3,538 (originally 4,100 prior to the 2004 renovation) audience members, Hill is used for large productions on campus.

==Design concept==
[[File:InsideHillAuditorium.jpeg|thumb|left|An interior view of Hill Auditorium]]
Carol Rose Kahn, the architect's granddaughter, recounted that her grandfather had set out to develop a hall with perfect acoustics. The brief was to design an auditorium that would seat five thousand people, where they could hear from every seat. The only known previous example was the [[Mormon Tabernacle]] where it was said that one could hear a pin drop from the stage to the top balcony, although the chamber suffered from excess [[reverberation]].

[[Albert Kahn (architect)|Albert Kahn]] wrote to Hugh Tallant, partner of [[Henry Beaumont Herts]], asking if it would be possible to build an auditorium for five thousand people, where they'd hear from every seat. Tallant responded, but only after several months had elapsed, to the affirmative; so Tallant designed the acoustics. The result was an auditorium in the shape of a [[megaphone]].

The granddaughter said: "Hill Auditorium was nearly finished when I was fourteen or so. My father ''[Albert Kahn's son]'' and I went out to Ann Arbor. Father stood up in the last seat of the second balcony, and I went down on the stage. On my word of honor, I dropped a pin and he heard it."<ref>((cite web |title=Hill Auditorium Renovation ((!))

==Renovation==
[[Image:HillAuditoriumWinter.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Hill Auditorium in winter]]
The University of Michigan website that describes the US$33.5 million (equivalent to US$51.3 million in 2022) Hill Auditorium refurbishing and restoration, completed in 2004, states:

"When it opened in 1913, Hill Auditorium was hailed as a 'monument to ''perfect'' acoustics.' The excellent acoustics, a result of collaboration by architect Albert Kahn with noted acoustical engineer Hugh Tallant, are known world-wide and have made the auditorium a favorite venue for legions of famous musicians and other artists, as well as numerous noted speakers."

"Careful attention will be given throughout the renovation to maintaining the acoustic quality of Hill, said Henry Baier, associate vice president for facilities and operations. In addition, further work will be done to reduce street and lobby noise by building a "sound lock" between the lobby and the auditorium."<ref>((cite press release |title=Hill Auditorium renovation project gets $2 million gift (&) UM's historic Hill Auditorium to undergo $33.5 million renovation |work=University of Michigan |url=http://www.umich.edu/~urel/hill/pr.html |access-date=2007-01-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060812045445/http://www.umich.edu/~urel/hill/pr.html |archive-date=2006-08-12))</ref>
