ABD Engineering & Design worked with AMDG Architects on the academic building addition that included Broadcast Studios, learning spaces, and commons.
ABD’s audiovisual design first addressed master planning to establish standards for the project and the school. We provided peer-review of the low-voltage contractor’s classroom AV for the academic spaces. Our audiovisual infrastructure and systems design for the broadcast spaces and commons, including a large video wall.
Our Acoustical consulting services included room acoustics, noise isolation, and mechanical noise control focused on the broadcast suite. The studio required variable room conditions, low sound transmission from and to other spaces, and a low noise floor required for the studio recording areas.
