RARITAN VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE, GYMNASIUM

SOMERVILLE, NEW JERSEY

 

The renovation of the gymnasium at Raritan Valley Community College addressed three major areas of need.  The original brutal concrete space lacked character, was furnished with inadequate lighting and suffered from poor accoustics.  

PJA addressed the accoustics by specifying lapendary panels installed at the ceiling to absorb sound while providing form to its geometric shape.  Metal halide fixtures were installed to provide ambient lighting throughout.  The school colors were incorporated in a paint scheme that accentuated the space’s design.
