Illuminarium

Atlanta, GA

Project Description: The Illuminarium is a 14,000 sq. ft. family adventure, meeting and event space featuring two rooms brought to life through 4k laser projection and 3D audio effects. Visitors find themselves immersed in various scenes from safari to outer space to ancient Egypt.

Scope of Work: Our scope included metal framing, drywall, acoustical ceilings and acoustical insulation. In addition, we installed several custom materials including felt sound baffles, GFRG specialty pieces and specialty FRP.

Special Challenges: The 25’ high projection walls were a unique challenge featuring multiple curves and complex radiuses. Not only did the walls require a seamless finish, but we also needed to create a smooth transition at the base of the walls so that they would appear to gradually meld into the floorspace. We worked with our vendor partner to build a custom radius GFRG panel that would achieve the required look.
