Royal opening of IAC facility at ISVR
 HRH the Earl of Wessex has officially opened IAC-built state-of-the art facilities for the world famous Institute of Vibration and Sound Research (ISVR) in Southampton.
The ISVR at the University of Southampton is Europe’s leading centre for research, teaching and consultancy in sound and vibration.
 The new £6 million purpose-built facility has been constructed on the University’s Highfield Campus. Part of the facility houses the South of England Cochlear Implant Centre – with an IAC Audiometric Suite, consisting of three large independent Test Rooms. Designed working alongside the ISVR’s preferred design team and built by IAC, this new facility will be used to further the ISVR developments in the field of Cochlear Implants.
‘This excellent new building provides specialist clinical facilities and new laboratories for ISVR’s new centre and will aid research related to human responses to sound and vibration, areas in which the University has an excellent global reputation,’ comments ISVR Director, Professor Steve Elliott.
 The facilities provide complete clinical and staff accommodation, where children and adults with severe to profound hearing loss receive life-changing technology allowing them to communicate via speaking and listening.
