School Hall Reverberation Solution

Client:East Sheen Primary School
Duration:Installation of panels was completed within two days.
Location:East Sheen Primary, Upper Richmond Road West, London SW14 8ED
Region:South England
Sector:Education - Schools

Hush Acoustics was approached by East Sheen Primary School to solve an extensive reverberation issue within their multi-use hall and dining area.

It was clear that there was a very big problem with reverberation, echo and ambient noise levels within the school hall at East Sheen. Hush acoustics were asked to solve the problem to allow for speech clarity, easier learning and a better environment for teachers and pupils. We also discovered, during our survey meeting, that there was a big problem with a neighbouring dining area. We detailed a specification for this as well as it was clearly an area that was very noisy and unbearable for the pupils

To achieve the results required by East Sheen Primary we carried out our site inspection service that allows Hush to calculate the amount of absorption material needed to bring the school hall reverberation times in-line with BB93 design criteria for educational buildings. We carry out an extensive site survey, taking measurements and detailing where any absorption panels can be installed to please any aesthetical aspect. From this site survey Hush Acoustics calculate the level of absorption needed and then offer the installation service to ensure the panels are installed correctly. All advice is carried out inline with BB93 design guidance for acoustics in school and Document E of the Building Regulations.

It was Hush’s responsibility on this site to offer the correct solution to East Sheen Primary School and ensure that we could achieve a reduction in reverberation noise levels and bring two problematic areas in line with BB93 guidance.

The works carried out by Hush Acoustics treated the reverberation issue and created a better environment for teachers and pupils. This better environment allows for easier teaching and more comprehensive learning.

A direct quote from the school head teacher “Just wanted to say a huge thank you from us all for your work around the acoustic issues. Everyone had noticed the positive impact and assembly today was much better. The difference is massive. Thanks again.”
