AV systems for MIT’s consolidated home for the arts, architecture, and design.

The Metropolitan Warehouse renovation consolidates MIT's arts, architecture, and design programs into a single reinforced-concrete storage building from another century. AV systems run from exhibition and critique spaces to lecture and gathering rooms, all built to survive constant reconfiguration by the people who use them.

Production and presentation AV in Brown’s creative-arts incubator.

The Granoff Center is Brown's cross-disciplinary arts building, where a recital-scale auditorium, a production studio, a recording suite, and screening facilities share one technical backbone. The renovation asked those spaces to work as teaching rooms on a Tuesday and finished production environments on a Friday.

Visual Culture, Arts, and Media Center — flexible black-box and screening systems.

VCAM turned a 1900 gymnasium on Founders Green into a 24-hour building for making and studying visual media. Its main hall converts between event floor, performance space, and exhibition, with a catwalk, rigging, and deployable acoustic banners doing the work that fixed architecture normally would.

Recital, recording, and instructional audio systems for a working conservatory.

Wheaton's Conservatory grew past its building, and the answer came in two phases: a gutted science building reborn as teaching studios, practice rooms, and a 100-seat recital hall, followed by new construction housing the concert hall.

Outdoor amphitheater AV design.

The John Goodman Amphitheatre gives Missouri State an open-air performance venue under a tensile canopy — a room with no walls, where reinforcement has to carry to the back of the seating without spilling across the surrounding campus.

Auditorium renovation reinforcement systems.

Palmer Auditorium's renovation returned a campus landmark to service as a working performance venue rather than a lecture room with a stage. The house needed even coverage from the front rows to the balcony without visually competing with the restored interior.

Classroom and event AV across a new academic building.

The Academic and Residential Complex is a mixed-use building delivered through a public-private partnership, pairing a two-story classroom building with a ten-story residence hall. The teaching spaces were the AV heart of the project.

Campus-wide AV: performing arts hall, athletics, culinary and event spaces, and central control infrastructure.

Elgin's campus scope crossed building types in a single coordinated AV program: a performing arts hall, athletics, culinary demonstration and dining venues, and event spaces sharing a central control infrastructure.

Theater-in-the-round AV systems modernization.

A theatre in the round leaves nowhere for loudspeakers to hide. The design threads reinforcement, monitoring, and production communications through an exposed overhead grid shared with lighting and rigging, keeping coverage even for an audience seated on every side while preserving sightlines from the first row to the balcony rail.

AV design support for the dome at the heart of Expo 2020 — a 360° immersive projection and audio environment seen by millions.

Al Wasl Plaza sat at the geographic and symbolic center of Expo 2020 Dubai: a 130-metre domed trellis whose fabric infill doubled as one of the largest projection surfaces ever built. The brief was to make a shaded outdoor gathering space behave, acoustically, like a controlled show environment for millions of visitors arriving in every language.
