AIA NC - February O.W.L.S. with HGC Noise Vibration Acoustics: The Sound of Good Design: Practical Noise and Vibration Control for Diverse Spaces

  • Online Zoom Webinar (map)

Although architects aim to create spaces that are both inspiring and practical, neglecting acoustics can turn even the most beautiful designs into uncomfortable environments for occupants, often leading to frequent complaints. Noise and vibration issues lead to frustration, privacy concerns, and costly fixes after occupancy. In schools, poor acoustics undermine learning; in offices, they compromise speech clarity and confidentiality; in homes, they disrupt sleep and well-being. Healthcare and research facilities face even greater stakes, where vibration can impair proper functioning of sensitive diagnostic equipment. 

This course shows why early attention to acoustics protects your design intent and your client’s investment. You’ll learn practical strategies to prevent noise and vibration problems before they occur, explore real-world examples of what goes wrong, and discover how partnering with an acoustical consultant can save time, money, and reputation - while creating spaces that truly work for people.
