The Chan Centre includes a 1,400-seat concert hall, a 160-275-seat flexible studio theatre, and a 110-seat cinema. The venue was designed to accommodate student activities as well as provide for the demands of touring professionals and includes adjustable acoustics to accommodate a variety of events. Damian consulted on the acoustics design of the auditoria and noise and vibration control.
Damian performed a 5-year post opening study of the facility in 2003, and worked with the University in 2015, to design and replace the existing acoustic banners with ones more suited to the range of programming hosted in the concert hall. And in 2021, Damian studied the sound produced by various LED fixtures to inform the University’s planned lighting and audio-visual equipment upgrade and replacement.
Now that I have worked in the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at the University of British Columbia, I have finally found a hall that is ideal!”
