Goshen High School

Project Description

Overview

Goshen High School in Goshen, NY received a $30 million-dollar bond to update the school’s academic, athletic, and arts facilities.  WSDG collaborated with architectural firm LAN Associates to assist in the comprehensive renovation of the school’s auditorium.  This included measuring and updating the space’s acoustics, seating accommodations, A/V equipment, and accessibility for the school’s growing music and theatre programs.

Program

The auditorium is 6,000 ft²/557 m² in total and seats 654.  The initial space had been built in 1976 and was not optimized for musical or theatrical productions.  It had a low reverberation time, but the absorptive ceiling provided little in terms of reflection support.  Th
