Theresianum (AT)

Archduchess Maria Theresa founded the Theresianische Academy in 1746 by converting the summer residence of her father, Emperor Charles VI, the Favorita, into a school. In 2021, the "Theresianum" celebrated its 275th anniversary, making it also the oldest all-day school in Austria.
The large dining room was built in the 17th century and impresses with its architecture and framed portrait heads from the 18th century. With its approx. 180 seats, it can accommodate children from kindergarten, elementary school, high school and boarding school. Due to the geometry of the room, the building acoustics are very unfavourable.
The luminaires used with the acoustic and improved the building acoustics.
A luminaire in a window axis consists of a total of 4 direct/indirect light strips, 4 spots and 3 acoustic elements. A total of 14 luminaires are arranged along the entire length of the hall.
The luminaires are fed via a small, enclosed cable tray along the entire length of the room from the ends of the hall.
The direct/indirect light strips provide uniform illumination of the room. The spots illuminate the stucco and the relief medallions in the vaulted surfaces.
