Lastly, due to the presence of up to 24 spaces in the building
that can be used simultaneously (in addition to the program
spaces, the public spaces are all designed for performances),
acoustical concerns were very high. Acoustical consultant
Kirkegaard
Associates of Chicago used independent foundations, resilient
isolation, and the natural topography of the site to provide
as much acoustic isolation as possible. As well, the concert
hall will have suspended fabric panels less than 1mm thick
that will reflect high-frequency sound but allow mid- and
low-frequency sound to penetrate and add to the reverberation
of the hall.
