USF - VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS TEACHING FACILITY
ACCOUSTIC CEILING, RIGGING, AND CURTAIN SYSTEMS
April 2010 - June 2010Tampa, FL
Project included automated curtain systems, recital hall pipe grids, powered FOH lighting positions, and a 32-ton remote controlled accoustic ceiling.
“ The project's dramatic yet simple defining element – the lyrical wall – uses form and shadow to express rhythm and pattern. The wall reinforces the building’s purpose – music – and guides audiences to and through the building. It opens to lobbies, student spaces, a green amphitheater and smaller, more intimate spaces. The lyrical wall soars to 55 feet in height in some places and diminishes to bench height in others. “ - hewv.com
“ A unique feature of the concert hall is the 32-ton acoustic “cloud" which is
suspended above the stage. It consists of a system of reflectors that can be raised or lowered to alter the acoustical ambience of the hall. Further alterations to room response are made possible by a system of adjustable drapes.” - allaboutjazz.com
