Abstract

Downtown Omaha is undergoing significant revitalization to include a 3,000-capacity live music venue. While myriad event types are expected in this new venue, a substantial portion are expected to be high-energy, high-volume musical performances such as rock/metal, country, hip hop, and electronic dance music. This new building is sited within one hundred feet of condominiums, apartments, and a hotel. The overall area is zoned as a central business district and has a permissive policy for decibel limits at neighboring properties. This paper will discuss how the design team helped project stakeholders create a good neighbor policy through the use of auralizations and how those criteria informed the enclosure design and sound isolation strategies for the venue.
