Stonyhurst College - Modular room installation

The Amadeus Acoustic Solutions pre-Christmas installation of modular acoustic rooms at Stonyhurst College was a roaring success. From offload to completion of the build we took 7 days on site to complete the installation of 5 rooms. Each room performs above and beyond BB93 requirements for insulation, transmission and reverberation times.


This job, along with all the others, highlight the single biggest advantage of our Boxy Modular Rooms. They provide a guaranteed performance, that not only meets the acoustic requirements of BB93 but exceeds them.


From the winding roads of the Umbrian town of Terni, Italy, to the sweeping driveway of Stonyhurst College Lancashire, came 5 Modular Acoustic Rooms ready for installation to begin on a very cold but sunny Thursday 11th December 2008.

With all jobs of this nature the practical implications, such as how to offload items from A to B, are of paramount importance. In the case of this paricular job, the offload point stood 12 metres from and 20 metres above the resting point.


Some heavy duty kit was required to ensure that each pallet was craned in and dropped precisely where required, to allow each piece, that had been meticulously packed and labelled, to be brought in and utilised immediately.

With the rooms safely offloaded the build commenced and completed on Thursday 18th December, 7 days from arrival of the rooms.

The School were delighted with the project and had the following to say;


" As part of a review of the department it was recommended that we look at modular practice rooms as a viable alternative. Out of three quotes the Amadeus submittal was the most comprehensive, easiest to sort out and came with the personal touch of a visit from John Locke, Director.John brought Claudio Lamberini, owner and chief engineer of Boxylab Srl to the school to carry out a detailed site survey and discuss all elements of the design and construction. By using AutoCad we were able to see, immediately, pictures of the rooms we could have and how they would look in situ, enabling us to make quick and accurate decisions.Once ordered the whole process was dealt with professionally, everything arrived when they said it would. The whole team worked superbly well and built the five rooms within the allotted time, taking great pride in their work. After sales communication has been superb with regular emails and visits to check on progress and answer any questions. We are now the proud owners of five superb modular acoustic rooms that are used for teaching, practising, rehearsing and recording. These rooms are easy to maintain and comfortable to work in, plus the pupils and staff queue up to use them! I would recommend Amadeus/Boxy modular rooms to anyone who is looking to provide modern, well built, appointed rooms that are acoustically designed, virtually soundproof, delightful to use and great to look at. They are fantastic and a real benefit to the department." Gregg Mann Director of Music
