Sports and Recreation Facility Acoustics
The importance of acoustical design in very large buildings such as arenas, pools and field houses can't be overstated. Whether it's 20,000 seat arenas, or 500 seat school gymnasiums, the control of reverberation time is important to maintain both speech intelligibility and background noise control.
- Sound Control
- Acoustical design includes control of reverberation and reflections from very large wall and ceiling surfaces. A proper acoustical design prevents late echoes from turning speech into a jumble.
- Background Noise
- Control of background noise generated by the building support systems, such as HVAC, lighting, electrical, and even the refrigerators and plumbing for the concessions or washrooms, are important factors in the design services we offer for a large sports facility.
