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.
Resolute Panels for Durable Wall Acoustics
The climbing gym, childcare area, and pool are adorned with colorful G&S Acoustical Panels on the walls. These panels not only contribute to the vibrant aesthetic of each space but also effectively manage sound levels, ensuring a comfortable environment for all users.
