See Remote Monitoring Demonstrations and Hear Auralizations at the SCUP-47 and Campus Technology Conferences

 

Today institutions of higher education are utilizing more of Acentech's latest technology on their projects.  We invite you to stop by our exhibit booths to see demonstrations of our remote noise and vibration monitoring systems. You'll also have a chance to hear several auralizations. Look for Jeff Fullerton, Wayne Cornell, and Sonya Thorpe in Expo Booth #1031 at the Society of College and University Planning (SCUP-47) Conference July 7-11 in Chicago. The following week Acentech's AV system, experts Ernie Schirmer, Corey Salvatore, and Jason Martinez, will host technology demonstrations at Campus Technology, July 16-19 in Boston, Booth #554.

Open Plan Library A word association game for "library" would probably result in common responses of "quiet" or perhaps "shhh."  But what happens to quiet when a library is an open plan space?  

 

Acentech's Ben Markham and architects David Zenk and Christine Vertbitzki of Gund Partnership authored a short article about acoustics for open plan libraries and contemporary design.
