Trilith LIVE │ WSP

WSP provided multidisciplinary engineering for Trilith LIVE, a landmark entertainment and mixed-use destination in Fayetteville designed to host concerts, live productions, conventions, performing arts, community events and more.

Creating space to perform

The Trilith LIVE development strengthens Georgia’s growing position as a national hub for entertainment while expanding the region’s capacity to support large-scale productions and events.

Beyond its economic impact — creating jobs and attracting visitors and investment — Trilith LIVE reflects a broader vision of fostering creativity and community.

Engineers at WSP were tasked with seamlessly connecting spaces while allowing them to stay acoustically separated.

Enable sound performance

This is a campus designed for simultaneous experiences. Youth worship spaces sit beneath luxury cinemas. Live music venues operate above education facilities. That mix creates a challenge where sound must perform without compromise.

WSP acoustic experts worked with the full design team to develop sound isolation strategies that preserve the intent of each space. Outcomes of this partnership include:

Limited sound transfer between uses
Maintained clarity for speech and performance
Supported multiple activities at once

Achieving this goal required tight coordination across disciplines and systems:

Architecture and structure
Mechanical and electrical
Technology and equipment placement

The result is a campus where distinct experiences coexist without disruption.

Connect a growing campus

Our Building Technology Services team delivered integrated technology systems to support a future-ready mixed-use destination.

We provided critical campus-wide infrastructure, including:

Telecommunications
Data networks
Security systems
Audiovisual environments

This approach creates a resilient, connected backbone that supports operations today and adapts as the campus evolves.

Technology also shapes the visitor experience:

Integrated access control, video surveillance and intrusion detection support flexible security across multiple stakeholders
Advanced audiovisual systems, including digital signage, public address systems and a three-story curved LED video wall that create immersive environments

By coordinating systems from planning through construction, WSP helped deliver a connected, high-performance campus built for growth.

Solve complex mechanical challenges

The mechanical engineering responds directly to the project’s acoustic and operational demands.

Large, high-volume spaces — including a three-story auditorium and seven-story atrium — required tailored solutions to deliver comfort and performance.

Key strategies include:

Overhead air distribution to target occupied zones effectively
Systems adapted from auditorium design to balance comfort and sound performance
Energy recovery systems that reduce the impact of high outdoor air demand
Resilient systems that support reliable operation across varying conditions
Dedicated smoke control and emergency power systems further support life safety and operational continuity.

Together, these solutions create an efficient, high-performing environment designed for long-term use within a growing, dynamic campus.
