AVL Designs Inc. has been associated with the Vestal School District on past projects which include high school auditoriums and football fields. Working with BCK/IBI we were tasked with designing a new performance space for their new African Road School. This auditorium would be a primary performance space for the district for a variety of events. Acoustic design includes diffusive and reflective elements of many types, including the ceiling which was shaped specifically to provide energy distribution to the balcony in the rear seats. RPG diffuser block would be used extensively on the side walls to provide lateral energy. The sound system design consists of front fill, main seating area, and balcony “over and under” delay systems. Automated and manual controls are both available in the space. For day-to-day use operation is quite simple. For productions, it is run by an operator on a show console. AVL also provided design for all state rigging, theatrical and seating area lighting and audio visual presentation systems.
