IAC GIVES STAR PERFORMANCE AT UNICORN THEATRE FOR CHILDREN

IAC has provided attenuators to suppress plant room noise at the new £13m Unicorn Theatre for Children in Southwark near London Bridge.

IAC’s attenuators were fitted to the ventilation system fans in 40 rooms throughout the theatre complex, and were used to achieve a demanding NR20 in the main auditiorium. Design and build contractor RTT Engineering Services of Wallington brought us in for the proven performance of our sound attentuation products. RTT took just 8 months to complete the entire project.

The striking copper-clad building was designed by architect Keith Williams and contains two theatre spaces. The main Weston theatre has been nicknamed the Theatre in the Sky as it ‘balances’ above the foyer in a daring and exciting design.

The Unicorn is the UK’s first children’s theatre and it will play to over 100,000 children each year. It was opened by Lord Attenborough amid an international fanfare on 1 December 2005.
