In 2020, construction was completed on a major upgrade to East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, a Northwestern suburb of Chicago.
Spaces of focus for the acoustics effort included the Music Wing, with Band Room, Choral Room, and Individual Practice Rooms, the 650-seat Cafeteria/Commons, and a new Natatorium with 8-lane, constant depth, 25-meter lap pool and a diving well.
Soundscape Engineering assisted the project team with respect to design of partitions for sound isolation between spaces, selection of room finishes to control reverberant noise build-up, promote speech clarity, and enhance music teaching, and the noise control design of HVAC systems.
