Lecture Theatre BLT 100, University of Auckland
This upgrade of lecture theatre BLT 100 in the Biology Building of the University of Auckland was undertaken as part of a campus-wide upgrade of lecture theatres. The fundamental design requirement for the lecture theatre is enabling every student to easily hear and see everything presented in a high-quality environment.
To be able to achieve the above objective and design requirements, a number of services were integrated to provide a good quality environment. These included architectural, audiovisual and lighting services.
This particular theatre is considered to be part of a "historic/heritage" building and thus it was a fundamental of the brief to emphasise some of the existing elements of the theatre that have been retained, whilst not compromising any of the functional lighting design requirements.
