Clackamas Community College
- Melinda Miller, Principal Engineer
- Peter Allen, Senior Acoustical Engineer
ABD Engineering & Design worked with Opsis Architecture to provide Room Acoustics recommendations for the Clackamas Community College Wacheno Welcome Center.
The spaces included: Student Services (Advising, Graduation, Career, Enrollment/Registrar, Welcome Center, Admissions, and Financial Aid), Testing Center, Study Spaces, Counseling, Informal gathering/social areas, Meeting rooms, and Offices.
The popular hard surfaces throughout were mitigated by prescribing acoustical treatment to reduce echo, reverberation, and distraction. These materials created acoustically comfortable spaces that sound as good as they look.
The new “one place” destination for over 26-thousand students navigating college success, won the 2023, ACUI, Facility Design Award.
