Blodgett Hall at Vassar College - Poughkeepsie, NY

With an excessive number of general lecture halls on campus, the goal of this project was to redesign the auditorium to function as a movie theater, a single more focused purpose. 

The renovation restored the architectural grandeur of the auditorium in numerous ways, including the selection of comfortable, durable seating in the appropriate style, and the application of new finishes throughout.  Developing a fabric wrapped, floating, acoustical panel system between the ceiling beams, not only enhances the acoustic experience, but minimizes sound transmission as well. 

Sensitively designed to correspond with the original splendor of the theater, the newly implemented accessibility provisions, along with an ultra-quiet HVAC system, a new projection screen, and an authentic theater appeal, make this the ultimate place to enjoy a movie.
