The St. Augustine Preparatory Academy supports a strong athletic program, utilizing state-of-the-art facilities for a diverse group of sporting events and performances.
The natatorium houses a ten lane swimming pool with separate event and practice sound systems utilizing speakers above the pool as well as underwater. These systems operate from microphones as well as an mp3 source. Additionally, cameras have been installed at the start and finish lines of the pool. The gymatorium functions as an event space for both sports and stage performances. A motorized projection screen has been installed above the stage and the sound system features an ALS hearing system for individuals with hearing disabilities. The outdoor soccer and track required a weather resistant sound system designed to create an even sound distribution while minimizing on field distractions and noise spills into the nearby neighborhood.
PAD has also reviewed and made acoustic recommendations for the design of the band, choir and commons spaces throughout the complex.
