Chan Centre
A retractable 360° performance sound system
Engineering Harmonics designed an innovative performance sound system to support amplified performances in a concert hall that had been originally designed specifically to support symphonic and chamber music.
EH also designed a new digital signage system, complete with a building-wide fibre-optic network and video infrastructure.
Details
The Chan Centre is a striking landmark at the University of British Columbia that includes the acoustically, architecturally and aesthetically pristine Chan Shun Concert Hall.
Services
Performance sound, video and communications systems consulting, design, tender, contract administration and commissioning.
Outcome
By eliminating the acoustic anomalies associated with touring sound in a symphony hall the new systems have endowed the centre with a competitive advantage in attracting top-tier touring productions.
