Various architectural features were implemented to achieve challenging sound control constraints. These included:
- Complex wall assemblies including multiple layers of drywall
- Appropriate air gap separations between wall assemblies
- Achieving sound dampening concepts coordinated with challenging fire separation requirements utilizing appropriate framing methods
- Sound resistant insulation
- Proper caulking of all penetrations
- Careful assessment and limited use of appropriate windows and doors from production area to office area requiring sound separation
Coordinating architectural and structural features were implemented.
- An open entry design involved the use of exposed structural members, railings and cables to achieve an updated combination of strength and beauty
- The varied use of naturally sealed concrete floors reveals the strength of the underlying structure meanwhile providing for a clean office environment setting
- A successful blending of necessary structural components complemented with appropriate architectural finishes resulted in a pleasing balance of form and function
- Smooth, clean epoxy flooring was used in required clean rooms giving chemical resistance as well as sanitary performance
Security and safety measures included:
- Point of access security doors coordinated with retinal scanning
- Special window films allowing light penetration but limiting visual sight access
