Venue cross sections

Johannes Goebel, Grimshaw Architects2009

EMPAC — The Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Troy, United States

Cross section through the north block with the Concert Hall and the south block with the Theater, two studios and smaller spaces.
The four main venues are acoustically fully isolated from the other parts of the building. Studio 2 has its own foundation, Studio 1 is floating on springs, and the Theater does not touch any other space, floor, or wall surrounding it. All connecting building infrastructure like cable trays or air handling ducts have to cross flexibly a gap around all spaces.
This allows using all venues simultaneously without any sounds transmitting from one to the other.
