The Lindemann Performing Arts Center at 布朗大学 offers a unique juxtaposition of art exhibition with design and construction. 该网站提供研究, design and performance spaces that foster creativity while the structure has been designed to have movable floors, 墙, balconies and gantries to accommodate whatever inspirations the artists using the space can imagine. The building itself serves as raw materials for conceptualization, 让抽象的东西对观众来说是有形的.

“At Brown, we see the arts as a catalyst for creativity, discovery and innovation. 这个新的表演艺术中心将吸引最优秀的教员, visiting artists and students to Brown and provide them with the necessary diversity of spaces to experiment, 工作和执行,” 克里斯蒂娜H. 帕克森在2017年宣布该项目的新闻发布会上说.

Our team at Jensen Hughes worked hand-in-hand with the design team to develop specialty fire and life safety systems for this malleable space. 彩宝网平台的工作包括光纤热探测, 听通知, 灵活的管道, extensive modeling and a careful plan for the sequence of system operations.

The special approach to the center’s design by 雷克斯建筑师 transcends typical acoustic and spatial barriers through the design of the flexible main performance hall into a variety of theaters, 音乐, performance and event spaces as well an immersive experimental media cube.

在这些配置中, 年级以下有排练区, 三面可移动的阳台(门架), and ceiling panels that can be lowered and tilted to control acoustics and aesthetics. The floors feature sections that can be lowered to allow for seating and other items to be moved from the main floor level into and out of storage which all require special consideration for fire and life safety. The building is designed to provide the most flexibility to the University in how they operate it both for educational purposes and for performance events.

Jensen Hughes collaborated on the development and implementation of these unique solutions:

  • Fiber-optic heat detection above the stage to provide early fire detection with limited nuisance alarm potential.
  • Voice-evacuation fire alarm notification featuring a reduced number of specialized high-fidelity speakers throughout the main hall for increased intelligibility with limited architectural impact.
  • Careful development of the sequence of operation to interface to audio/visual components, 天花板旋转马达, 烟雾控制系统等等.
  • 与消防承包商合作, we developed a scheme to utilize 灵活的管道 to connect the fixed fire protection infrastructure to the fixed fire sprinkler piping on the Gantries. The solution utilized industrial-grade materials and support systems to allow the movement that was needed.
  • Analysis of the fire resistance rating for the large structural steel members that support the roof and the suspended gantries.
  • Computational fire modeling to assist the project team in the design of the three (3) different smoke control systems present in the building: Underground Smoke Control / Pressurization, 大厅排气, 和楼梯防烟罩/楼梯加压.
  • Thermal comfort study for the design of the heating and cooling systems per ASHRAE standards to evaluate the comfort of the building occupants.
