RPG effusor Newsletter - December 2007

RPG Offers Seasons Greetings
November was a month to be thankful for the support we have received from all of you, the significant growth of RPG worldwide, the dedication of our staff and the wonderful projects we have been fortunate to be a part of. It was also one of our highest production periods working on several megachurches, museums, schools, recording studios and residential theaters. We also held a Diffuse Seminar for Neil Shade and his students at Peabody and a Special Focus Seminar with a large team of acousticians and architects from Puerto Rico, to finalize designs for several performance projects. We would like to wish all of our friends in the acoustical community Seasons Greetings in this holiday period and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Did You Know? RPG's High School Systems Graduate into Widespread Use
The modern school is a microcosm of all venues in which RPG has developed time proven acoustical designs and systems. RPG now offers a complete range of products for classrooms, lecture halls, auditoria, music practice and rehearsal rooms, gymnasiums, swimming pools, meeting/conference/teleconference rooms, recording and broadcast studios, computer rooms, laboratories, power generation and HVAC facilities. Together all of these different acoustical environments comprise the modern school. RPG is proud to play a part in improving learning environments through sound acoustical design and LEED green school initiatives by the USGBC, of which RPG is a member. In this issue we spotlight three completed schools and one pending project. RPG School Solutions brochure.
