Sports Facilities - Acoustics

When designing a sports venue such as a gymnasium, indoor pool, or hockey rink, the acoustics of the space should always be considered. In other words, how are the room's geometry, wall and ceiling materials, playing surface, and sound reinforcement system going to affect the quality of sound within the complex?

Whether planning for the design and construction of a new sports complex or struggling to achieve better sound quality in an existing venue, our acoustics experts work with owners and architects to ensure that correct acoustics are achieved.

Utilizing state-of-the-art computer modeling techniques, our consultants can identify potential acoustics problems in a sports complex before it is even built, preventing costly post-construction fixes by "doing it right the first time." In the case of existing spaces, consultants can engineer solutions for "problem spaces" and offer cost-effective treatments that will help to correct these problems.

In outdoor stadiums and complexes, noise pollution can be minimized and accurately predicted during the design phase of a project or sound reinforcement system in order to minimize the impact of sound in surrounding neighborhoods.
