I dunno, Erich, but I'm not sure how much budget the OP has...
Well, they can spend it unwisely, or they can spend it wisely . . . it's their choice. It just frustrates me to see people spend money foolishly on things without a real design or solution plan in place. Particularly if it is a public works project where it's my tax dollars being wasted. Responses posted on line are my inner-Yoda trying to reach out and influence the Force . . . to help young Jedi to choose wisely.I dunno, Erich, but I'm not sure how much budget the OP has...
Room Acoustics: Many seem to think sucking the life out of the room is desirable. When you add too much absorption to the walls / ceilings it does reduce the reverberation, it also significantly reduces the sense of 'being there' that the performer gets standing on the stage. Dead room = uninspired performer.
Their HVAC is loud, their roof lets rainfall noise through, and their room doesn't carry natural sound to the back room while keeping it intelligible.
This thread reminds me why I'd rather have open heart surgery than watch sound guys argue on the internet.

Some school districts operate with just one theater shared among several schools. Close the two poor auditoriums and put what resources you have into operating the good one. It might make it easier to get ongoing funding, because that one facility will be more vital and have more constituents.
