ABD Engineering & Design worked with Clark Kjos Architects on the new OHSU Mission Control Center. The centralized communications center houses technology, and teams, including the Oregon Medical Coordination Center (OMCC), and the Oregon Behavioral Health Coordination Center (OBCC) using real-time data to find care for hospital patients among health systems across the state.
ABD’s acoustical consulting services began with a site survey to determine the noise isolation performance of an existing corridor wall that would act as the primary separation between the air-traffic-control inspired dispatch center. Mechanical noise control was a critical component of our work to provide low background noise in the busy spaces. Room Acoustics modeling and recommendations for treatment materials, square footage, and locations helped to create spaces that manage noise and reduce distraction for the staff.
