The University of Chicago's $91-million, 175,000-sq-ft Reva and David Logan Center consolidates visual arts, film, music and theater within a single complex housing a three-story, 450-seat auditorium, a two-story podium and an 11-story tower.
Consolidation created challenges, including acoustical isolation of spaces given the potential for concurrent performances within the complex. As construction progressed, the project's acoustical engineer performed periodic inspections of all wall and ceiling enclosures, with discrepancies documented and corrected before closure of spaces.
