Best Specialty Contracting Project: Bing Concert Hall, Stanford
The seamless integration of architecture, acoustics and technology is on display within the 47-ft-high ceilings of Stanford University's new Bing Concert Hall. To help the facility's construction and design team achieve optimal sound quality, crews with specialty contractor California Drywall installed nine massive sound-directing reflective acoustic sails, covered with an innovative plaster system that reduces reverberation time.
