In keeping with its global status CDFD wanted a corporate mini-auditorium for its various presentation programs and seminars which includes experts from across India and overseas. They were keen on a very functional but very effective space in keeping with budget constraints of a government organisation.

Anutone provided it’s Slats Surco based acoustical solution that was accepted by all the stakeholders to the project.
Outcomes
The result is a visual that is pleasing to the eyes, sound that is pleasing to the ears and touch that not only is comforting but also has no long-term maintenance issues. Add odourless with no toxic emissions for indoor pollution (indoor air quality) and you are assured of a complete package, a total solution, with such a 360 degrees approach.
