King Abdulaziz Convention Center Grand Hall

A landmark convention hall's acoustic wall treatment and premium seating programme needed to be realised on site from a design and consultancy scope set by other practices.
The King Abdulaziz Convention Center's Grand Hall seats 2,200. The architectural design and acoustic consultancy had already been set by other practices; Acoustic Design's role was to take that design through to realisation on site.
Our scope covered the hall's acoustic timber wall treatment, technical consultancy on the wider fit-out, and full responsibility for the seating programme across the centre.
The warm geometric surfaces and premium finishes now carry consistently from wall to seat.
From first survey to final finish
One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.
A surveyor visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.
Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.
Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.
Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.
Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.
Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.
Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.
