Scope: Architectural Acoustics, Audiovisual Design

CTA Provided acoustical consulting and Audiovisual design services for the adaptive re-use of the historic 1920’s theater into a modern performance hall, cinema, and music school. The main cinema has state-of-the-art audio and video projection systems to present first-run films.

The performance hall can be used in the standard stage and audience setup shown, but can also be transformed into a balcony cinema to show films when the hall is not booked for a concert or other stage event. This unique design was more unique than we expected, as we were unable to find a precedent to look to for inspiration, and had to innovate ourselves.

The United Theater was a recipient of a 2023 Rhody Award for historic preservation
