Calgary Film Centre

Location:

  • Western Canada

The Challenge:

To provide three large independent studios, which are adjacent to each other, with optimized acoustical separation.

The Innovation:

To boost film production in Calgary, Calgary Economic Development has built a new state-of-the-art film studio that rivals film centres in Vancouver and Toronto. Aercoustics was brought in to help the design team build the facility, to ensure that the background sound levels remained at a minimum, and that the necessary level of isolation was achieved for the surrounding environment. Having prior experience designing Pinewood Studios in Toronto, we came up with specific solutions to optimize and enhance the wall and ceiling assemblies and provide mechanical design recommendations to achieve these sound and acoustic goals.
