ABD Engineering & Design worked with Scott Edwards Architecture and the City of Happy Valley on this community library expansion project. ABD provided acoustical and audiovisual consulting services for the new lobby, plaza, divisible 300-person community room, 3 study rooms, offices, kitchen, and support spaces.
ABD’s AV design began with audiovisual infrastructure needed to support the systems and allow for later improvements and expansion. In the divisible community room, we addressed projection and screens for video and presentation while balancing the needs of floor-to-ceiling daylight windows on two sides with a row of clerestory windows across the back.
Acoustical engineering recommendations for room acoustics, interior noise isolation, and mechanical noise control maintained the expected quiet in the new library spaces.
