Some of the ARI - Reps Ignitex Acoustic curtains were made with the 101. white colour.

The layout of the Aula Magna has been changed to the mode used to host conferences, with the audience at the center.

The 122. smoke grey colour of the ARI - Reps Ignitex is here slightly altered by the blue light projected by the LED wall washers.

The Acoustic draperies are hung on a TRX track system arranged along the walls thanks to which they can be manually slid to free the entrances and windows as required.Alternatively, the Acoustic curtains can be arranged to cover the entire perimeter of the hall.

The TRX track system here has the so-called walk along opening configuration, which uses curtain push-pull rods connected to the master carriers.

The Aula Magna of the Valletta Campus of the University of Malta has also been for decades one of the main areas of the archipelago dedicated to meetings and conferences.
In 2020 the hall was completely renovated, its perimeter was furnished with Acoustic draperies made of ARI - Reps Ignitex fabric which, in addition to the aesthetic purposes, also have the tasks of optimizing the acoustics and regulating the entry of daylight.
The curtains can be displaced along a TRX track system that has a walk along configuration.
