HOLLINS UNIVERSITY
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA
Specifier: Meyer, Sherer & Rockcastle, Ltd. / Minneapolis, MN
Installer: Newmat USA Ltd. / Huntington, NY

Designed by MS&R Architects of Minneapolis, this renovation of the Moody Student Center Cafeteria included 7 large pie-shaped ceilings at various heights. Newmat provided White Matte/M15 microperforated membranes ranging from 600 to 1,300 square feet each utilizing White Classical perimeter rails, together with custom built light coves at the perimeter of the lower areas. To achieve this design challenge of the perimeter light coves, 4" x 12-1/4" aluminum c-channels wrapped with Newmat M15 membranes were used. The acoustical performance of this system (.75 NRC) was obtained with the microperforated membranes and a few acoustical baffles suspended in the plenum.
