University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) - Modular room installation

When the new music department at the University was originally built, the Media Factory determined that they required some specialist rooms in which recorded music and live music would be taught and practiced. It was soon discovered that the playing of any type of music, particularly percussion and amplified guitar, caused distracting sound transmission that travelled all around the MEDIA FACTORY. The volume depended where in the building you were located; nevertheless even at the lower end of the sound spectrum, transmission was distracting. This was having negative effects on teachers and students throughout the University, both in and out of the music department. Therefore, something needed to be done.

Amadeus Acoustic Solutions were delighted when we won the right to supply sound proof modular rooms to the University of Central Lancashire through a public tendering process – we knew we could help alleviate the acoustic issues being experienced by the University and our Boxy modular rooms were the perfect way to do this.

The rooms were to be located on two upper floors within exiting rooms. The entire project, from off-load to completion took just 3 days. Each of the rooms is separated from the structure into which they are located, thus sound transmission is very low and there is absolutely no disruption to teachers or students across the Media Factory. Another wonderful success story!
