Laxton School – Junior OUNDLE

Like so many schools nowadays it is blessed with a multi-purpose hall, as the descriptive suggests it is going to be used for many different activities. Gymnastics, to Choral; Assembly to Orchestral. Such a room must deliver an environment that allows both noisy and quiet activities. As originally built/designed, the room acoustics were very bad. Our acoustic consultant measured a reverberation time (RT) of over 3.5 seconds; it needed to be between 0.8seconds and 1.2 seconds.



Several different types of acoustic treatment and positions were considered, eventually a mix of ceiling hung baffles and strategically sized and positioned wall panels were selected for their acoustic and aesthetic characteristics. The work was carried out during the early summer of 2009 in just 5 days. The environment is now ideal, as verified by Andrew Forbes, Director of Music at Oundle School and 2010/2011 President of The Music Masters and Mistress’s Association (MMA) - see his comments below:

"The acoustics at Laxton are now wonderful. You [Amadeus Acoustic Solutions Ltd] and your team have done a truly splendid job, and the treatment has made an enormous difference. Thank you."
