We
develop cost-effective solutions for
municipal projects in order to create
safe, quality facilities. By designing these buildings
with both noise control in critical spaces
and good room acoustics in gathering spaces,
we can greatly enhance the quality of the facility
and the comfort of its occupants. Our
range of federal project experience includes
institutional facilities, police stations and headquarters, maintenance
faciilities, and courthouses
and city halls.

Architectural
Acoustics
Interior noise design criteria, appropriate for the project’s concept and budget,
are established
within the critical spaces. This criteria is used to develop our
standards and solutions. We select specific wall and ceiling details
for acoustical privacy, depending on the sensitivity
of the room. We calculate reverberation times
within common spaces, and review floor systems for
impact insulation.
Mechanical Noise
Control
We review
noise from the HVAC system, including radiated noise
through the roof ceiling assembly and ducted noise.
Vibration Isolation
Mechanical
equipment is also reviewed for vibration impact to the
building. For sensitive labs, we design recommendations
on how to isolate the space from the structure
to prevent excessive vibration levels.
