IAC Noise-Lock Doors and Windows Provide a Perfect Solution for the Palladium Performing Arts Center
 IAC recently completed a job in Carmel, IN at The Palladium Performing Arts Center which is being considered one of the finest acoustical venues ever built in North America. The hall will be used to present all forms of classical music, in addition to accommodating various other forms of acoustic and amplified concert performances such as jazz, symphonic pop concerts, and lightly amplified pop and world music concerts as well as amplified speech events.
For this project IAC provided Noise-Lock acoustic doors for 17 openings, including the following:
- 3’x7’ single-leaf and 6’x7’ double-leaf STC 64
- 9’x8’ STC 64 double-leaf;
- 8’x7’ STC 61 double-leaf;
- 6’x7’ STC 42 double-leaf
- 6’x8’ STC 51 double-leaf
The doors were selected for sound critical points one of which was the loading dock. Two pairs of STC 61 doors were used to separate the busy and noisy loading dock and carpenter shop from the backstage area. IAC also provided doors for the mechanical room as well as IAC Noise-Lock windows 8’-0” x 4’-6” STC 59 for the sound and lighting control booths.
STC 51 doors were used for practice room spaces that were scattered throughout the venue some of which are for the general public areas. These doors were shipped prime painted from the factory and local wood workers outfitted them with veneer and molding to mimic other non-acoustic doors within the building.
IAC Noise-Lock doors were specified on this project by Artec Consultants, Inc. of NYC. Acoustical testing, which would guarantee the performance of the Noise-Lock system, was required.
IAC doors are produced as engineered systems, including leaf, split-frame, seals, hinges and latching hardware, factory assembled and laboratory tested for performance in our NVLAP (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) accredited aero-acoustic laboratory. Having such a raft of in-house testing facilities, each of the doors could be tested to meet the specification prior to the building being completed.
