10 October 2005 WORLD'S TOP HEARING RESEARCH UNIVERSITY CHOOSES IAC
Occupying most of the first floor of a purpose-built, 'quiet' 5-storey building, on the very busy Grays Inn Road, the facility comprises a full Anechoic Chamber and a suite of five fully isolated Audiometric Test Rooms whose specification was one of the most demanding ever undertaken in IAC’s 56-year history.
"The noise levels specified for in this facility by Professor David Kemp Phd, are so low, that it is difficult for them to be physically measured. Using our team of Acoustic Engineers we had to work very closely with Professor Kemp and with the architects on the design of the complete building right from the early drawing board stage. Most of the levels had to be mathematically calculated using proven product data and our own engineering experience” says Jason Saunders, Business Manager. “We are still in discussion with Professor Kemp and his team regarding ‘cable entry’ into these rooms and are confident that, by working together, we will develop a new type of system with easy access and complete noise isolation for this scheme and future projects going forward.” Jason Saunders can be contacted on 01962 873027 jasons@iacl.co.uk, and for more information on IAC’s Medical and Life Science noise control solutions visit www.iacl.co.uk ENDS For further press information please contact: Sally Davis in the IAC Press Office on 023 9266 1600 m: 07802 436739 sally@theprdepartment.co.uk

Our
Medical and Life Sciences Division has built one of the world's most sophisticated
Hearing Research Facilities for the University of London's Institute of
Laryngology in London. 
All
of the six research rooms are triple-skinned with a Nr measuring down
to below -10dBA, much lower than the normal threshold of hearing. IAC
also designed and constructed a complete concrete floating floor to the
level above the suite, to ensure 100% sound isolation.
