The Verle Annis Gallery is a rectangular room with a volume of approximately 20 000 ft3. Used primarily for seminars, it is known for its poor acoustic qualities. Various acoustical parameters were measured in the space using MLSSA software. The results were compared to calculations based upon the room geometry and the acoustical properties of the room surfaces. Finally, CATT‐Acoustic software was used to model the room in its present condition and also with the addition of acoustical treatment and sound reflecting panels. A novel mechanized device was designed to improve the sound isolation between two simultaneous presentations. A comparison of the measured, calculated, and simulated results are presented.
