University of North Texas Jazz Lab

The UNT College of Music’s Jazz Lab serves as rehearsal space for UNT’s nine different jazz lab bands, including the seven-time Grammy-nominated One O’Clock Lab Band, as well as four vocal jazz ensembles. Its renovation features nearly 4,000 square feet of updated space within the UNT Music Building. The project encompassed acoustical performance improvements, interior renovations, the addition of instructional technology with recording/webcasting capabilities, and new furnishings, along with HVAC and ADA compliance modifications. Post L Group served as a trade contractor handling the stunning wood dowel acoustical wall system at the University of North Texas Jazz Lab project for Adolfson & Peterson Construction. The system was so complex that no other company was willing to undertake it – especially within the aggressive timeline. But we rose to the challenge! We worked with SmithGroup and HGA to select the ideal supplier, Redbud Architectural Systems. We then meticulously coordinated the fabrication and installed the thousands of 5/8” dowel slats over an acoustic fabric backer. Each rod was cut precisely in the field by our team of artisans.
