Project Overview
Location: Fairview heights, Illinois
The REC in Fairview Heights, Illinois, is a 58,000-square-foot community recreation complex that opened in May 2019. Designed by the Farnsworth Group, the facility includes a gymnasium, fitness center, aquatic center, climbing gym, childcare area, and a suspended track. G&S Architectural Products provided and installed a variety of acoustical treatments throughout the facility to enhance sound quality and user experience.
SoundWave Clouds for Acoustic Control and Aesthetic Appeal
In the main lobby, blue G&S SoundWave Clouds are suspended from the ceiling. These curved, independently-hung acoustical panels provide effective sound absorption while adding a visually striking element to the space.


Banners for Managing Reverberation in a Large Space
The gymnasium features a significant number of G&S Banners installed in the ceiling. These acoustical banners effectively reduce reverberation, creating a more comfortable environment for sports and events.
Baffles for Noise Reduction in a Two-Story Glass-Enclosed Space
The two-story fitness center, with expansive glass walls, is equipped with G&S Baffles hanging from the ceiling. These baffles address sound issues by absorbing noise, contributing to a more pleasant workout environment.


Resolute Panels for Durable Wall Acoustics
Along the walls of the suspended track above the gymnasium, G&S Resolute Panels are installed. These durable, sound-absorbing panels help control noise in the track area, enhancing the experience for users.
