The Challenge:
This project is a nationally significant redevelopment within Ottawa’s Parliamentary Precinct, modernizing offices for the Senate of Canada and the House of Commons and establishing a new public square. The program includes parliamentary offices, large committee rooms, shared atria, and new public-facing spaces, including enhancements to the Library of Parliament. Given the mix of secure, semi-public, and public functions within interconnected heritage and new buildings, acoustic performance is a critical design driver.
The Innovation:
Working with Zeidler Architecture and David Chipperfield Architects, Aercoustics is providing acoustic design services, with a focus on high speech privacy and security, committee room speech intelligibility, and acoustic comfort across offices and shared spaces. Our work supports the complex operational requirements of Parliament while enabling functional and welcoming environments.
