Pontifical Gregorian University
The Pontifical Gregorian University was founded in 1551 thanks to Ignazio di Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, and owes its current name to Pope Gregory XIII. The restyling of the auditorium, by the architects Contini-Stella Associati, improved the architectural quality, as well as the visual and acoustic comfort. The cavea with an elliptical, planimetric shape contains 10 rows in two sectors in which you can see our Omnia Evolution seats, fixed writing surfaces and electrified duct. In order to improve the acoustic quality, in compliance with the specific regulations for acoustics (DM 18-12-75), during the design phase we decided to recover the walls and false ceiling with slatted Listen by Fonology in a curvilinear trend. This product is among the most innovative on the market.

Technology
The Omnia Evolution seats are equipped with a curved, affixed and electrically cabled writing surface to allow users to charge smartphones and devices. The electric wires run in special ducts integrated into the seats.
Made-to-Order Acoustics
In partnering with Fonology we provided an optimal acoustic environment. In the case of large classrooms, such as that of the Pontifical Gregorian University, a general soundproofing of both the walls and the ceiling must be provided, together with an amplification incorporated into many diffusion points. We do this in order to avoid strong sound pressures that can damage acoustic intelligibility and cause distractions.

Style and personalization
