Hey Mister - Blue Sky Is Not The Limit
Would you like to install glass panels in the roof of your office building...or the roof in any building? Nice but expensive (and possibly architecturally impossible)....
Read Full ArticleNashville’s newly opened Music City Center includes one mile of operable partition. The $585 million, 1.2millionsq.ft convention centre has gained much attention for its bold design, including an undulating roof to reflect Nashville’s rolling hills and its grand ballroom shaped like an acoustic guitar.
Other areas of the facility immerse visitors inside other musical instruments, such as mandolins, fiddles, and a piano.
MCC’s challenging design required operable partition to maintain acoustical separation within a four-story facility of unusual curves and constantly changing space requirements: the exhibit hall, grand ballroom (which includes a theatrical stage at one end), a junior ballroom, plus other meeting space that can divide into as many as 60 separate rooms.
“A big part of our ability to be flexible lies in the operable partitions installed in many parts of the building,” explained Charles Starks, President/CEO of MCC. “We can configure our spaces in numerous different layouts and enjoy the engaging design because of the quality of the operable partitions and the fact the manufacturer conformed them to the challenging curved designs of various building areas. Their adaptability was crucial.”
