Systems Designed
- Acoustics
- Audiovisual
RLS exercised great care in designing an HVAC noise and vibration system that not only shielded the nearby residential neighborhoods from unwanted noise, but met the stringent vibration criteria associated with sensitive lab equipment.
The acoustic design scope extended to creating open work spaces and meeting areas that enabled productive interaction between scientists, administrative staff, clinical researchers, and visiting experts. Audiovisual design encompassed standards development and design for over 20 conference rooms, various training/presentation rooms, an exercise facility, dining room, and reception areas.
