Steve and Judy Turner Recital Hall, a 272-seat venue at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music in Nahsville, Tennessee, has been a key rehearsal and performance space since its debut in 1980. The renovation has provided new seating, flooring, house lighting, a stage extension and custom acoustic paneling for the backstage wall. The acoustic paneling along the stage wall was designed with perforated substrates that improve the sound resonance and absorption for larger ensemble performances. The project has enhanced the hall’s aesthetic appeal and acoustic performance through intentional design and meticulous planning.
