Description

When Cornerstone Church outgrew their building, they bought land and built on a new site. The church recently recieved the award for Best Audio/Visual Design from the Associated Builders and Contractors Awards Program. The new, 59,300 square foot, church campus features a 900-seat Sanctuary, Youth Ministry Center, Children's Wing, Offices, Prayer Center and Counseling Suite, all centered around a Café Hub. Acoustics By Design made recommendations for comprehensive acoustical engineering and AVL systems design for the project. Our professional engineers modeled the spaces in 3D to predict the aural response. Next, we designed solutions for room acoustics and noise isolation. Acoustical clouds were added to the sanctuary to enhance congregational singing. We worked with the architect, Progressive AE, to recommend acoustical finishes that were both effective and attractive, fitting with the building's aesthetic. Our AVL designers developed technical system designs for Audio, Video, and Theatrical Lighting. The church has recently moved into the new facility, and the congregation's response to the acoustical environment and the AVL Systems has been outstanding. The church truly sounds as good as it looks.
