Schools & Higher Education

We provide acoustics and noise control consulting services for the design and construction of schools and higher education buildings. This can include designing classrooms and auditoria with appropriate acoustical properties to minimize distracting sound reflections, reverberation and background noise, as well as ensuring appropriate levels of sound isolation between rooms and from exterior noise sources such as road traffic. We use our practical experience and technical knowledge to develop realistic and cost-effective recommendations that put the student experience first, while also recognizing that learning happens outside of the classroom in a variety of settings.

We have extensive experience implementing applicable design standards and guidelines for acoustics in schools, including LEED requirements, Nova Scotia DC-350, and ANSI S12.60.
