ABD Engineering & Design worked with Ackerman-Estvold architects and McGough Construction to provide holistic acoustical engineering services for Minot State University’s Communications, Art, English and Humanities building renovation.
“ABD’s invaluable insights have truly transformed our approach to design.”
-Jessica Rocha-Egge, Director of Interior Design at Ackerman-Estvold
The newly renovated spaces are home to the KMSU radio and television studios, E-sports venues, podcast studio, theater, recital hall, gathering spaces, seminar and classrooms.
ABD’s compete acoustical consulting scope included Mechanical Noise Control – to reduce the noise from the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and elevator systems. Likewise, Noise Isolation – to help separate one space from another. Room Acoustics – to address the amount of echo and reverberation was important for everything from classrooms, to common and collaboration areas, and critical listening spaces.
