The Commissary on the old 'campus' of Williams Air Force Base was remodeled into an exciting academic facility with specialty classrooms, labs and a finely outfitted all-purpose lecture hall. MCH provided full-scope acoustical consulting. Included are labs for Marketing Research with an Observation/Control Room, Computer Science, Consumer Behavior Research, Food Prep, Food Science, Pre-Vet and tiered Pre-Vet lecture room/Lab and a variety of support wet- and dry- applied biology laboratories. Included was the significant acoustical challenge of providing suitable construction detailing to mitigate to inaudibility in immediately-adjacent classrooms, a virtual, computer-facilitated golf-swing room generating impulse noise in excess of 113dB!

• 41,000sf adaptive reuse for labs & classrooms

• Two tiered, mediated classrooms

• Golf Swing Room noise mitigation from 113dB to inaudibility
