Overview

The largest lecture theatre on campus, the Education Auditorium needed improvements for acoustics, flexibility and comfort. Renovation priorities included creating a flexible space for different capacities and audiences, updating the space to building code standards and improving accessibility. 

To enhance acoustics and highlight centre stage, two wing walls were constructed on either side of the stage and sound-absorbing material was added. The addition of an operable wall system enables the auditorium to be divided into three spaces. The lights and carpet reflect the pattern of the wood slat ceiling. Sculptural wood panels at centre stage add a dynamic element and are situated for optimal acoustics.
