Elisabeth Center opened in Antwerp, Belgium

November 26th, 2016

Queen Mathilde opened the completely refurbished Elisabeth Center on November 26, 2016 in Antwerp, Belgium. It was designed by Ian Simpson Architects and acoustic consultant Larry Kirkegaard was responsible for the acoustics of the new hall.

The new concert hall has 2020 seats and provides a space for concerts, conferences and theatre. The stage consists of 12 stage elevators and additionally there are 2 mobile lighting bridges and 12 movable sound reflectors.

During construction, Theateradvies was the stage equipment quality manager for the main contractor, Heijmans. Theateradvies represented Heijmans in the dialogue with users and the theatre consultant, Charcoal Blue, and assessed the work of subcontractors: shop drawings, the quality of prefabricated elements and on-site work was evaluated.

The project was on schedule and within budget and the response has been very positive.
