“Brackenridge High School’s new music building was designed very well. The architect looked at the outside beauty of the building and the functionality of the inside. Wenger’s Planning Guide helped members of the planning team explain their needs and state their case. These facilities are second to none in Texas.”

FOUR CRITICAL FACTORS.
The overall effectiveness of your facility will be largely determined by the following four factors:
Acoustics— How well your rehearsal and performance facilities promote critical listening is directly proportional to how effective it will be.
Floor Plan — An effective layout must successfully integrate adequate floor space, proper traffic flow and easy access to all areas.
Storage — This not only affects equipment and supplies, but also acoustics, traffic flow and security.
Equipment — The final step toward guaranteeing a successful new facility.

The overall effectiveness of your facility will be largely determined by the following four factors: Acoustics, Floor Plan, Storage, and Equipment. The most common new construction mistakes are often

• Rooms that are too small
• Ceilings that are too low
• Not enough storage
• Poor traffic flow
• Acoustics not taken into consideration
• Poorly designed floorplans.

Wenger Corporation has developed helpful resource guides to help you understand the acoustics of your space and offer planning guidelines to help you design an effective music space.
