A dining hall that was difficult to use
The school contacted us because the acoustics in its eating hall had become unbearable. With many children sharing the space, the school needed a more comfortable environment for everyday mealtimes and conversation.
The brief focused on improving sound within the hall. We supplied and installed acoustic treatment across the walls and ceiling to help control reflected sound in the room.
Custom-made wall and ceiling panels
We manufactured the acoustic panels specifically for this project, combining wall-mounted panels with suspended ceiling panels. The finished photographs show the wall panels positioned around the hall and the ceiling panels suspended between the existing lighting.
The client chose the fabric colour, allowing the panels to sit comfortably within the school’s existing interior. We used Lucia CS flame-retardant fabric to finish the custom-made panels.
A noticeable difference for staff and children
After the installation, we received extensive praise from the teaching staff about the difference the treatment had made. Staff reported that the room acoustics were hugely improved and that children were no longer talking over one another.
For the school, the result was an everyday space that staff felt worked much better for the children using it. This feedback reflects the school’s experience following the installation.
