Education Sector
Increased work in this sector has raised our awareness of the number of schools and colleges that suffer from poor sound proofing and unacceptable acoustics, some of which fall short of present day standards.
Check link below to access document BB93 for current school acoustic performance requirements in England and Wales. www.teachernet.gov.uk/_doc/5649/ACF12DC.pdf
With this in mind, we have developed acoustic designs for educational purposes through long term involvement and feed-back from our clients. Floor layout, ease of teaching with a creative learning environment are only part of our innovative design concepts.
AVD FM Ltd; can advise on audio set ups, mic technique and how to make the most of our variable acoustic room finishes in rehearsal rooms, school halls, theatres and concert venues. All in line with BB93 directives and normally well within your budget.
In particular, we often attend to media colleges with badly performing studio facilities that emit high levels of noise leakage and sound pollution, thus disturbing exams, classrooms and study areas.
Famous institutions such as City College Islington, Winchester College in Hampshire, Nescot College - Ewell, Surrey, Bath Spa University, Oakgrove School in Milton Keynes, Barking Abbey School of Music and Drama, Leeds College of Music, Feltham Young Offenders Institute in Middlesex and Bishops Waltham School in Hampshire have all benefited from our specialised knowledge and excellent acoustic design service.
Remedial and repair - Another all important area for us is remedial and repair work. Recently, we have attended to (and fixed) numerous educational based projects that have not proved successful in their initial stage. Other less experienced acoustic design companies have "let down" their clients with ill advised plans and dubious concepts.
In some cases, we have witnessed colleges forced to close down studios or facilities due to faulty sound-proofing, insufficient noise isolation or unsuitable acoustics...... in other words, projects that meet the requirements of the supplier but not sadly, the expectations of the client.
Free Advisory Service - Our remedial team can offer free, yes that's free, initial advice for solutions to these types of isolation problems and design concerns. Combined with a sympathetic approach to your present surroundings, we can often achieve an improved environment, conducive to creativity and learning. This offer, can also help you overcome the miriad school acoustic requirements of BB93.
