• URI Ranger Hall Active Learning Class

University of Rhode Island Ranger Hall

LLB is currently working on renovating the upper levels of the historic Ranger Hall for the Harrington School of Communication and Media. The program consists of classrooms, a film production lab, video editing suites, and an administrative suite. Room acoustics and AV integration are focal points of the design as the new spaces will be used for critical listening and viewing. The mechanical system design also requires close attention as the air distribution system needs to work with the constraints of the wood frame structure while at the same time operate with utmost quietness.

The renderings show one of the active learning classrooms (air link audiovisual technology allows for moveable furniture) and the renovated central corridor that is enhanced with alcoves and sitting benches for informal social interaction.
