Leeds College of Art - Modular room installation

The students at Leeds College of Art had a need for 2 sound-proof music rooms for practice and recording, and as a result the college decided to get in touch with Amadeus. A site survey at the beginning of 2009 identified an unused space in a very large, very high, storage cupboard. As this was located near to a stairwell and elevated corridor it was decided to form a mezzanine floor onto which 2 specially designed modular music rooms could be located.

Two rooms erected on mezzanine floor - created by using top half of storage cupboard. Below you will see the first completed wall sections on the mezzanine floor:

Four glass windows and air circulation system installed:



As the newly created floor was to be located close to very large windows it was decided the entire front walls of each room should be fully glazed; this was also to include one side wall. Visibility and use of Natural Light were an important part of the brief. We also needed to ensure there was no noise transmission as one side of the new rooms is the Theatre which is in regular use. Sound management was a critical feature of the client brief.

Completed rooms including plinth - All in only thirty hours:

As you can see, these very special acoustic rooms are highly unique and look amazing. Nonetheless, it's extremely difficult to photograph them without our professional photographer to hand! As a result Amadeus Acoustic Solutions are running an exciting competition at Leeds College of Art to give students the chance to take a set of stunningly creative photographs of the rooms to be used on Amadeus marketing material. Not only does this give the students a wonderful opportunity to expand their portfolio and work on a 'live brief', we will also be offering three cash prizes to the winners and promoting their work on our website. Below you will see a copy of the poster our design team have put together for the competition. Watch this space for news on competition winners...
