As a single-source supplier Decoustics provided multiple acoustical products for the renovation of this medical research facility, including: Claro®, Quadrillo® and Fabric wrapped panels.

Large rectangular Claro® Ceilencio® panels are featured in the entrance lobby. With excellent noise absorbing properties, Claro® delivers great acoustics in this space with numerous reflective surfaces such as glass, tiles and millwork. Ceilencio® suspension grid allows for easy access to the plenum for maintenance. Claro® Standard White finish reflects over 90% of light and brilliantly brightens up this open lobby.

On the other side the waiting area is beautifully outfitted with Quadrillo® panels on the ceiling that make this expansive space feel more warm and inviting. Inside the meeting rooms and lecture halls Claro® ceiling, curved Quadrillo® and Fabric wrapped walls ensure to adsorb noise and eliminate echoing, delivering crisp sounds and speech intelligibility to the seats in the back of these rooms.

Not only do Decoustics products give this facility a refined appearance, but also a great acoustical atmosphere and comfortable environment.
