Eliminating the effects of mechanical noise in an open plan environment and increasing privacy in meeting areas.
Global events-led marketing and communications services business UBM occupied the new 240 Blackfriars Road building in January 2015. The Gensler-designed interior included an exposed concrete ceiling with baffling and chilled beam system.
Acoustic consultants Sandy Brown recommended the introduction of sound masking because of the low level mechanical noise noticeable throughout the open plan areas and, after a hard-fought procurement process, Acoustic Comfort were appointed by Swift as the preferred supplier. A key element to the selection criteria was the ability to tune the system with acute accuracy across the floors. Without this capability, the associated risk would have been high.
This is a landmark project for Acoustic Comfort, for a prestigious client in an iconic new building.
