Engineering Brief

Designing a Laboratory for Immersive Arts

Authors: Keyes, Christopher

AES Convention 140 · Paper 263 · May 2016

Abstract

This brief gives an overview of a facility dedicated to 3D sound and multi-screen video. It houses a control room and a theater with the region’s only 24.2 channel sound system and 5 permanent HD video screens. At roughly 200 m3 it is a relatively small facility but has many uses. In its construction we were afforded a wide range of possibilities for spatial configurations and equipment choice. It is hoped that presenting some detail on these design decisions, including choices available and ultimately implemented, may be of use for readers planning and budgeting their own facilities.
