“Listening to the Structure”

Here is a fascinating article about Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, MA by David Odeh, PE. of Odeh Engineers: Groton Hill Article.

The article discussed the how they incorporated our glulam into building and into the acoustical design for the world class concert and recital halls. It also goes into detail on how the shape of the space moves the sound to each part of the concert hall. It required a complex analysis of the material in conjunction with the shape to ensure optimal acoustical quality for each concert goer. 

While Odeh Engineers did the overall engineer for superstructure design we were tasked with designing all of the unique and sometimes complicated connections. Unalam is very proud to be a part of such an amazing project with an amazing team!
