Acoustics By Design
Acoustics By Design offered comprehensive acoustical consulting services for The Gallery on Fulton, a mixed-use development in downtown Grand Rapids. Our design work included: architectural acoustics, noise and vibration isolation, building systems noise control, and audio-video systems design. The anchor tenant for the project, The Urban Institute of Contemporary Arts, features a sophisticated blackbox theatre. In addition, there is a film theatre, which will be used for live performances and film screenings, as well as numerous gallery spaces for media of all types.
Located on the southwestern corner of Division Avenue and Fulton Street, The Gallery will offer both commercial spaces and residential apartments with 56 apartments and an integrated 262 space parking deck. The building is expected to be LEED certified for green building features, including a geothermal heating and cooling system.
Kent Companies, Inc.
Kent Companies was contracted by Triangle Associates to deliver the concrete frame of a 15-story mix use building in down town Grand Rapids known as “The Gallery”.
Working with Triangle Associates, Kent Companies’ project team of Steve Doelder, Project Executive, Paul Bowne, Project Manager, Chris Jesko and Jim Shannon, Superintendents set out to use our past experience in “Vertical Concrete Construction” to deliver the concrete frame with an aggressive schedule.
To accomplish Kent Companies’ goal all components had to be integrated without any delays. Coordination of the building materials from aggregate volume and temperature in the redi-mix to vertical and horizontal form work, reinforcing steel & post tension cables all had to be scheduled with no street level storage. Material platform was added to the side of structure and moved up as required to stage material to service the work on each floor level.
With the project having variable floor heights due to its mixed use in the lower structure, all vertical formwork, shoring and re-shoring materials had to be customized at each level. Kent Companies’ experience in structural concrete led to the installation of 650,000 lbs of reinforcing steel, 100,000 lbs of post tension, and 10,000 cubic yards of concrete all completed within the project time line.
