| The restoration of
the 19th century Victoria Hall in Petrolia Ontario
included a 500 seat theatre. Acoustical improvements
include slightly convex walls to prevent flutter echo
and special acoustic diffusers along the back wall to
improve listening conditions underneath the balcony.
Elaborate noise control work was undertaken to
maintain a quiet environment inside the theatre
without compromising the heritage aspects of the
large exterior windows on both sides of the room. In
September 1992 the project was completed well below
budget. |
