The Challenge:

Working with Diamond Schmitt Architects, to acoustically isolate the lecture halls – four stacked rooms all exposed to a four-storey atrium.

The Innovation:

The curved double-layered walls in the lecture halls made this very complicated, as the mechanical system had to be carefully considered. In the end, we were successful in delivering these stacked, curved, isolated rooms, helping achieve the design vision without compromising acoustic performance.
