CIVIC THEATRE RESTORATION, Auckland, New Zealand

This project included the major refurbishment, restoration and adaptive re-use of a late 1920's atmospheric theatre.  The project required careful consideration of the heritage issues whilst optimising the acoustic environment through innovative designs.

A new fly tower, improved break-out rooms and bar areas, custom furniture and finishes, were all part of the three year undertaking of one of New Zealand's most sophisticated heritage projects.


Marshall Day Acoustics were engaged to provide recommendations on treatment necessary to achieve a suitable environment for amplified stage shows.  In addition we provided advice on building services noise control and sound insulation performance.
