Blue FabriTRAK panels on the auditorium walls

Acoustic performance and comfort were important requirements within the performance spaces, so ensuring the right materials and finishes were used was paramount. The architects selected FabriTRAK® systems both for their functionality and aesthetic appeal. The panels are finished in royal blue, suiting the classical aesthetic. The stretch panels and walls assist with noise reduction in the lobby space and the right acoustic performance in the theatre, recital halls, and rehearsal space.
