The University of Miami School of Medicine transformed a 4,300 square-foot classroom area into a modern auditorium-style lecture hall. This renovation repurposed storage, A/V control, and hallway spaces to create an upgraded educational environment tailored to the evolving needs of the campus.

The lecture hall combines Seem 1 Acoustic Louver Direct and Unlit baffles, arranged in continuous runs, parallel to the width of the room across the ceiling. The acoustic baffles effectively manage reverberation levels, ensuring clarity for lecturers while maintaining a comfortable auditory and visual experience for students. The deeply regressed louvers provide glare-free lighting, especially well-suited for the environment.
