Florida Atlantic University
Location: Boca Raton, Florida
A staple of the treasure coast, Florida Atlantic University reached out to our professional flooring team with a request that we were eager to get started on. After all, FAU is one of, if not the, most respected academic institutions in the area.
We brought the same experience, hard work, and determination to this project that we do with all of our installations. The University was looking for new carpet in some of their most iconic spaces. As the largest portion of the project, we installed custom, large patterned broadloom carpet in the House Chambers. Additionally, we installed carpet in the Kaye Auditorium Lobby, which leads to the auditorium, which was in need of a new stage.
House Chambers at FAU is the largest meeting space in the Student Union and the hub of the conference center. Simple, yet elegant: the American flag, Florida flag, and School flag stand in the corner near the podium. The carpet was due for a revamp, and the new broadloom carpet has given new life to the spirit of the room.
The Kaye Auditorium has long maintained the reputation of having some of the best acoustics in South Florida. The auditorium has played host to Broadway stars, renowned orchestras, stand-up comedians, and performance artists from every niche. The stage was one of our most intricate jobs to date. The five-thousand-square-foot stage needed all new wood. So, we had to demolish the old stage, get it all out of the auditorium, and then start work on the new stage. Once we installed the wood, we started sanding, painting, and sealing the wood to give it the proper finish. The stage had to match the stature of the auditorium, and we rose to the challenge.
Next on the list was the Banquet Hall, the Majestic Palms Ballroom, and the Conference Rooms. We installed custom carpet tile in each, consulting on and catering to the design specifications. Due to the fact that these rooms are within the student union, the color scheme was tailored to match school colors.
The next site was outside of the Genius Lounge. We installed a stone veneer to complement the professional and beautiful style that the rest of the area was designed in.
Luxury Vinyl Tile was called for in the Cavalry and Retail.
All told, we installed around two thousand square yards of carpet, thirty-five hundred square feet of vinyl plank, and around five hundred square feet of stone veneer. As a finished product, we, as well as the client, are extremely happy with how it looks. Take a look at the pictures for yourself, and let us know what you think.
