3It sounds weird either way. I'd say A great deal of thought went into the design of the auditorium.– user230Commented May 16, 2018 at 3:48

I agree with snailboat - idiomatically, it's always "a great deal of thought", never thoughts.– stangdonCommented May 16, 2018 at 4:10

Neither of the options sounds correct. It should be something like this:
Past:
A great deal of thought was put into designing the auditorium.
A great deal of thought was put into the design of the auditorium.
Present:
A great deal of thought is being put into designing the auditorium.
A great deal of thought is being put into the design of the auditorium.
