This project consisted of a 294,000-square-foot new performing arts center with two halls, a 1,800-seat proscenium theater and a 1,600-seat concert hall. The project required extremely stringent noise limitation specifications so that no foreign sounds can be perceived by the patrons. All mechanical system vibration and noise generation is isolated from the halls. The south-facing glass atrium features a 30,000-square-foot cooling/heating radiant floor. U.S. Engineering provided all heating, cooling, temperature controls and plumbing systems.
