Across the new Jackman Law Building, our team delivered acoustical design for a diverse range of spaces, including the 210-seat lecture hall and moot courtroom, seminar halls, the student commons lounge, and faculty and staff offices. Each space type required a distinct approach to reverberation control, background noise levels, and sound isolation. The result is an acoustic environment well-suited to the full range of academic activity that takes place across the facility.
The Bora Laskin Law Library renovation presented a particular opportunity. Transformed into a luminous, multi-storey pavilion connecting the law school to Philosopher’s Walk, the library required acoustic treatment appropriate for a social and collaborative learning environment—balancing openness with the concentration demands of academic study. Our team developed recommendations that supported the architectural vision while ensuring the space functions effectively as both a study and gathering environment.
Within Flavelle House, our team addressed the acoustical requirements of the renovated conference centre, balancing technical performance against the constraints of a heritage building. Noise and vibration control for mechanical equipment was addressed across the project, ensuring that building systems did not compromise acoustic conditions in sensitive teaching and study spaces. The completed project delivers a well-functioning acoustic environment serving one of Canada’s leading law schools.
