The project involved the retro fitout of an existing basement of the Emmanuel School into a 250 seat auditorium. The performance space was fitted out with audio and lighting equipment, stage management communications, stage curtains, projection and AV equipment.

Acoustic design features included:

  • Open control room to the performance space
  • Mid-frequency reverberation time suitable for speech and music

Acoustic challenges included:

  • Working with an existing room volume
  • Constrained floor to ceiling height
  • Tight budget

Other project challenges included minimising disruption to the school environment and respecting the very tight programme.
