Acoustic strategies addressed noise and vibration from the adjacent subway through isolation at structural elements, façade design, and extensive use of absorptive finishes. Performance spaces incorporate box-in-box construction, floating floors, and isolated ceilings to prevent sound transfer. AV systems utilize a networked, fiber-based infrastructure with AV over IP to enable flexible, low-latency signal distribution. Classrooms support hybrid learning, while common areas integrate digital signage, wayfinding, and distributed audio. Security systems are seamlessly embedded within the architecture, and IT infrastructure supports long-term scalability and future technology integration.
