Yerges Acoustics, Downers Grove, IL: The Owners program,
supervision, and budget requirements dictated a 1,346 seat multipurpose
auditorium on one level, with a fully rigged stage house and adequate
sight lines. This imposed severe constraints on shape and configuration.
Yerges Acoustics specified an extensive application of DiffusorBlox®
in the side walls to ameliorate the effects of the halls excessive
width. Some reverberation and lateral energy can be maintained without
echo or loss of speech intelligibility. Before the introduction
of DiffusorBlox®, this solution would not have been economically
feasible. |

Dahlquist
and Lutzow Architects, Ltd., incorporated the firms philosophy
of combining excellent form with progressive and lasting function
in a particularly striking manner when they designed the spacious
1,346 seat auditorium in Lincoln Way High School. The Fine
Arts Wing is large enough to accommodate school functions and
serve as a community cultural center. The dramatic auditorium
utilizes DiffusorBlox® walls, a sophisticated system of stage
lights and pulleys, and a 5,310 square foot stage. This state
of the art facility is unmatched by any area high school.
