Rumor is state-of-the-art, 10,000sq-ft nightclub located in center city Philadelphia. It opened in September 2011 and was constructed in a vacant space, formerly a depository. This presented challenges as well as opportunities; the vault is now the VIP room, but getting HVAC and plumbing inside required coring through 24” of reinforced concrete.
Aurora Sound & Light Design played a critical role in the design, working together with the owners and architect to create a world-class nightclub experience while remaining within the parameters of available space and budget. The main dance room features an all-Meyer Sound system, an LED gird ceiling, and an MA Lighting grandMA2 ultra-lite console. Other highlights include a 40’ fully illuminated color-changing bar, custom built illuminated bottle service tables, a color-changing hallway, and a CO2 jet system.
