The detailed design acoustic consultancy services for the major leisure-led extension to the existing White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds, including a CineWorld 11-screen cinema (including IMAX), six national chain restaurants and associated public realm works. The acoustic challenges were the ‘new’ concourse design (whereby a continuous structure was required between auditoria) and acoustic testing of a bespoke lightweight acoustic roof system. Detailed support was provided to the on-site construction team who had never built a multiscreen cinema scheme before. The scheme successfully passed the acoustic commissioning testing, including the demanding requirements for the IMAX auditoria.
