Last week, DLAA completed final system commissioning for the new addition at the Waukee Performing Arts Center — a major milestone for this exciting project.

DLAA provided full acoustical and theatre consulting services, along with AV, performance lighting, and stage rigging system design. This first phase delivers a brand-new performing arts center addition, with a second phase planned to renovate and repurpose the existing music and auditorium spaces, scheduled to open in late 2026.

The new auditorium features:

- 977-seat capacity

- Full-fly stage rigging system

- Professional-level audio reinforcement and video distribution systems

- LED performance lighting and control system

- Expanded wing space

- Large orchestra pit with elevator

- Improved accessible seating

- Dedicated follow spot platforms

- New concession area

Behind the scenes, the facility also includes larger dressing rooms, expanded costume and prop storage, and a significantly enhanced scene shop — supporting performers, technicians, and staff alike.

Stephanie Adams-Ball served as DLAA’s project manager, with key design contributions from Ben Bridgewater, Chris Evans, Craig Breitenbach, and Joe Chapman, ASTC. We were proud to collaborate with Alec Hoppe, Rachelle Hines, and Brian Bartlett of FRK Architects + Engineers to help bring this vision to life.

We’re excited to see this space support students, artists, and the community for years to come.

DLAA was honored to be invited to join the team to oversee the design and construction of the new facility at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. Our scope included design services for AV, performance lighting, and acoustics in their new auditorium, along with other supporting spaces. Some of the specifics of the project included a large high-resolution LED wall, supporting displays, and a high-quality sound system. Additionally, the space has performance lighting that will better support presentations, conferencing, and live events.

DLAA provided quick and effective solutions for a Community Hospital in Colorado after they received complaints of high noise in exam rooms above a large mechanical room. We evaluated the airborne and structure-borne noise from the equipment downstairs. More specifically, the large screw chiller and the associated piping.

Our recommendations included adding restrained spring isolators for the equipment itself and spring isolation hangers for the piping above. The client quickly implemented our recommendations and brought us back to re-test. Our measurements verified that the issue was resolved.

We were grateful for the opportunity to help the hospital staff and patients have a quieter environment.
