The Chanhassen Recreation Center went through something that every construction customer dreads; having a supplier go out of business in the middle of their project. When they called the W. L. Hall Company, they thought their only option was an expensive and messy total track tear out and reinstallation.

Expecting the worst, Chanhassen Recreation Center Manager Jodi Sarles reached out to W. L. Hall for assistance with her partially installed 3 wall project from her now defuncted vendor. Part of her concern was the significant disruption soffit demolition and reconstruction would cause to her fully open facility.

We assured Jodi that we could adapt our system to work with the other vendor's track and that we could provide new, state of the art Modernfold Premier operable and movable walls with a minimum of disruption to her facility's operations.

Luminous Barrisol® ceilings and walls use color-changing LED technology to shape atmosphere and support how a space is used throughout the day. Neutral tones suit everyday operations, while richer brand colors can highlight events, milestones, or special moments. Warmer hues create a welcoming feel for evening use or guest receptions, with digital controls allowing lighting to evolve as branding or needs change—without physical alterations. Extending the same approach into the vertical plane, Barrisol® luminous walls are built on a lightweight aluminum framework, with integrated lighting and translucent membranes. The result is a clean, softly glowing architectural surface that delivers uniform, glare-free illumination and visual calm. When ceilings and walls shift color in sync, the space gains depth and rhythm, subtly reinforcing brand presence and guiding movement through key areas without relying on signage.
