The mission of the Wrzesiński Ośrodek Kultury is to inspire residents to take an active part in cultural life and to create conditions that foster the development of interests, passions and creative activity. The centre carries out educational and cultural activities, responding to the needs and expectations of the local community. The client was the Września Town and Municipality Office, the general contractor was the Grinbud Jarosław Sieszchuła company, and the design was authored by architect Justyna Mikołajczak; the building was completed in 2020.
The Wrzesiński Ośrodek Kultury carries out a wide range of activities, including the organisation of outdoor events, preparing attractive leisure-time activities for children during the winter and summer holidays, organising showcases of amateur artistic work, and various entertainment events held both in Poland and abroad. Its programme also includes music workshops that develop participants' skills. Participants in events and classes have access to a modern facility comprising a performance hall with 343 seats and professional stage lighting, a chamber hall, a multi-purpose hall, a dance hall fitted with mirrors, a music room, a rehearsal room, a meeting room, a model-making workshop and an art studio.
In the performance hall, acoustic reflectors were installed, the steel roof trusses were clad with acoustic panels, acoustic ceiling claddings were supplied and installed above the stage and auditorium, and perforated and smooth acoustic systems were installed. In the sound control room, a sound-diffusing acoustic system was installed on the ceiling and walls. In the recording studio, acoustic materials were supplied and installed on the walls and ceiling. In the activity rooms, the dance hall and the chamber hall, acoustic suspended ceilings were supplied and installed.
To ensure optimal acoustic parameters, including noise reduction, improved speech intelligibility, adequate acoustic comfort and the required sound absorption, the selection of materials and their placement were carried out in accordance with design documentation prepared by a specialist acoustic studio. The parameters achieved were confirmed by post-completion acoustic measurements.
