Overview

A landmark brick building dating from 1919 was converted and combined with new construction to house the Museum of the Bible, an institution dedicated to teaching the historical and cultural significance of the Christian scripture. Fixed and adjustable acoustic finishes along with an electronic enhancement system, help accommodate this broad range of programming and maximize space usage flexibility. Appropriate environments for speech intelligibility and patron enjoyment of exhibit designs were created.
