The Palladium
The hall’s interior was influenced by the neoclassical designs of the
18th-century Scottish architect Robert Adam.The concert hall with high ceilings and massive, sound-reflecting walls. The room itself is symmetrical, from side to side and front to back, creating a central column that is topped with a cylindrical dome with an oculus in the middle. The two oval spaces that fuse into the central volume are also symmetrical from front to back with identical outermost walls and ceilings surrounding the half dome
Designing the Canopy
The outstanding technical feature of the Palladium is its adjustable-height
glass acoustic canopy, the result of an intense collaborative effort between
the acoustical designer, the architect, and and the rigging expert.The finished canopy is made up of multiple trapezoidal pieces of glass in
varying thicknesses, tilted to catch and reflect the sound frequencies and
mounted in four sections on a steel frame that is raised and lowered via
a dead-haul drum-and-winch system.
The exterior features a four-fronted symmetrical design.
A raised colonnade portico on the south façade faces Carmel City center’s village green and creates a grand entrance at the top of the orchestra level. The east and west facades provide ground-level entry vestibules, allowing barrier-free access to the lower orchestra level on each side.

Brownsburg High School
A Larger Cafeteria with Room to Grow
A new cafeteria offers eight food stations with a combination of assembled-to-order and grab-and-go options. To accommodate growing class sizes, the new space seats 860—nearly triple the size of the previous cafeteria—with room to expand to 1,000 seats.
An existing auditorium was transformed into a true performing arts theater.
The new theater design involved expanding the auditorium with new sloped and stadium seating, a new orchestra pit, front of stage area, overhead catwalks, and new lighting and sound systems.
New Weight Room and Wrestling Room
A new 10,000 sf weight room, locker rooms, and a coaches office were added to the main level. These spaces are used by the school’s athletic programs, physical education classes, and the community. In addition to state-of-the-art weight lifting equipment, the space includes a medicine ball wall, battle-ropes, and lanes for the 40-yard dash.
A 7,100 sf wrestling room and associated locker rooms and office are located above the weight room. The entire floor is covered in wrestling mats with seventeen practice circles and two competition circles. The walls are also covered with mat material and custom graphics.
