Major Renovation Reduces Reverberation Time in University Ministry Center

Worship spaces must balance music clarity and speech intelligibility to ensure an optimal listening experience for attendees. This has become more challenging in the past decade as worship bands have become more contemporary, implementing instruments such as guitars, drums, and keyboards into their services.

A local university’s ministry center completely renovated their 3,500-seat auditorium and required extensive treatment to address all acoustical issues within the facility. First, our experts conducted a reverberation analysis to assess the current reverb time and design a custom solution to meet the facility’s needs. With this information, we recommended 2” Novawall Stretch Fabric and 2” Kinetics Hard Side Panels.

With the solutions in place, students could attend their daily services in an environment designed for maximum comfort.
