Whiteland High School
Clark Pleasant, IN

ARCHITECT
“The design of the ＄19 Million, 343,725 square foot addition/renovation to Whiteland High School included a renovation of the auditorium. Schenkel Shultz Architects incorporated acoustical and aesthetic improvements in the auditorium design. The RPG panels used as the ceiling plane not only met the acoustical performance criteria for a multi-purpose performance space, they also provided a unique undulating surface profile that adds to the dynamic nature of the programs produced.”

C.Andrew McNeilly, Schenkel Shultz Architects

ACOUSTICIAN
“The existing auditorium suffered from many acoustical anomalies, including flutter echoes, a fairly low, flat reflective ceiling, and focusing of rear wall reflections. To correct these deficiencies as well as keeping with the aesthetic requirements of the space, several diffusive and absorptive materials were utilized to improve the space. RPG Flutterfree was installed on the sidewalls to eliminate the sustained echoes and Topakustik was utilized on the rear wall areas to provide a similar wood look, while providing sound absorption. In replacing the solid ceiling with RPG’s Waveform Bicubic and Waveform Spline diffuser panels, the optimized diffusion and increased volume aided greatly to the overall acoustical benefits of the renovated space.”
