Combining architecture and acoustical engineering, Spendiarian & Willis takes projects involving architectural acoustics, environmental acoustics, and noise control from testing to acoustical design to finished architectural drawings thus integrating both the form and function of sound. This close collaboration enables us to create innovative designs incorporating dual use materials for aesthetic and acoustical purposes leading to significant savings in construction costs.
Building AcousticsWill students be able to hear an instructor clearly? Will workers in an open plan office or call center be able to work productively and keep sensitive information confidential? The ability to communicate effectively, avoid distraction, and the need for privacy and security are often neglected parts of room design. While not difficult to carry out at the design stage, these goals can be expensive to achieve after construction. |
Site PlanningWhat impact will introducing new equipment to your site have on your neighbors? Have us build a simulation to optimize equipment placement and design abatement to minimize complaints and comply with local noise regulations. |
Noise ControlModern buildings contain numerous systems that can cause noise complaints – HVAC, plumbing, wall and floor assemblies. Have us review your plans for acoustical issues before construction. After construction we can verify the acoustical performance. |
TestingWhat will be the cost of noise abatement needed for your new project? Is the environmental noise level appropriate for this type of project? Will you able to get the zoning variance you need? We can perform on site testing to determine project feasibility and discover potential issues. |
