We hear you. We listen, research, measure, and analyze to engineer and design acoustical solutions to optimize performance for the most demanding acoustical spaces. Our acoustical engineering and AV design groups offer architects, building owners, facility managers, and other stakeholders expertise in three individually distinct practice areas—providing expert acoustical consulting services for architectural acoustics, environmental noise and vibration control and audiovisual systems design. While each group specializes in their individual areas of expertise, they often work collaboratively on acoustical projects that demand the expertise of two or more of our practice areas.

Healthcare

Healthcare acoustics pose a wide range of complex and diverse challenges for hospital and healthcare facilities managers—from HIPAA speech privacy compliance, patient quiet environments, and various vibration and noise control issues, to optimizing acoustics and audiovisual technologies for presentation spaces, meeting and training rooms, and state-of-the-art medical simulation labs. Our acoustical and AV design consultants specialize in healthcare acoustics, providing design solutions for new construction, remodeling, and retrofit healthcare projects.

Higher Education

We consult with colleges and universities to design acoustics and audiovisual systems for learning, social, and living spaces to create engaging campus environments. From speech intelligibility, to AV sound reproduction, to noise and vibration control, we understand the acoustical and AV challenges unique to each venue. We provide expert acoustical and AV solutions—for classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, sports arenas, stadiums, performing arts centers, recreational facilities, multi-unit housing, and other higher education facilities.
