| 2,500-seat Verizon Hall rests upon 225 pads, and 120 pads support 650-seat Perelman Theater. Ranging in size from 20 x 16 inches to 24-inches square - the latter weighing in at 250 pounds - the rubber pads will work in concert with The Kimmel Center’s state-of-the-art acoustics to ensure a sound experience like no other. Although they have historically played only a modest role in concert-hall construction, rubber isolation pads are not a new building technology - they have also been used to prevent earthquake damage. |
