Northern Arizona University’s Kitt Recital Hall was designed as a 26,863 square-foot state-of-the-art performing/fine arts complex to attract students, local audiences, and guest performances. Working closely together, T-P Acoustics, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ, along with RSP Architects and Madrid Inc. helped to construct what is considered to be the cultural center of the University. Madrid’s multiple wood products met the acoustical performance demands required by the acoustician. These included 30 wood reflectors, linear wood planks, wood grille, 48” x 144” wood wall panels, and a custom wood shelf. These were designed to provide an aesthetically pleasing environment for the patrons, but to also meet the acoustical performances expected of this type of facility. With the combined expertise involved to complete this space, Kitt Recital Hall is certain to enhance the musical curriculum that will allow NAU to meet the required needs of their current and future students.
