 Aurora
Municipal Center, Aurora, CO
- Square feet: 265,000
- Cost: $67 million
- Completion date: December 2002
Barber Architecture, Denver, Colorado presented the City of Aurora
with seven possible schemes for the master plan and design of
their future Municipal Center. The City chose a master plan that
offers plentiful green space for public gatherings. The Center
itself sits at the head of a long park that includes a library,
Justice Center and the future Performing Arts Center. The design
is a gift to the people of Aurora.
Project Architect Deborah Barber of Barber Architecture indicated
that the acoustical finishes specified by acoustician Ed Logsdon
of D. L. Adams Associates, Denver, Colorado, provided an aesthetic
and acoustical solution to both the Lobby and the Council Chambers
of the facility. Logsdon
was concerned with the circular shape of the room and specified
absorptive wood for wall areas and column covers and BASWA®phon
for the curved ceiling fascia, to control focusing and reverberation
time. Logsdon also specified FlutterFree®
for the front wall of the chamber to diffuse sound for improved
speech coverage, uniformity and intelligibility. The Weitz Company,
general contractor on the project, provided a professional installation,
which fully realizes the architectural plan and showcases the
RPG products in their best light.
