| Title |
Acoustic Analysis of Redpath Hall
|
| Abstract |
McGill University's Redpath Hall was originally the reading room of Redpath Library, built in 1892-1893 from a design by architect A.T. Taylor. The reading room was repurposed in 1952 as a 300-seat auditorium according to the plans prepared in by the architects McDougall, Smith and Fleming of Montreal, and is now used for ensemble and solo performances as well as campus events. The author points out that it is generally accepted that no auditorium can be designed which could provide an ideal acoustical environment for every sound program. On this premise, Redpath Hall has been analysed, acoustically, by the author in search of means by which the Hall could be acoustically corrected, in order to improve the hearing conditions at a reasonable cost and without sacrificing existing acoustical and architectural assets. The author also provides an architectural history of Redpath Hall.
