Avenue’s custom Calando Panels helped Brisbane School of Theology overcome acoustical challenges, creating a conducive teaching environment.
The Challenge
Brisbane School of Theology, an 80-year-old inter-denominational Bible college, faced an acoustical challenge in their rectangular lecture room with high ceilings and predominantly hard surfaces. The excessive reverberation hindered teaching and learning experiences for both staff and students.
The Avenue Solution
After comprehending the challenge faced by the client, Avenue communicated effectively and cooperated with the Brisbane School of Theology. The Avenue team created models of potential solutions based on the dimensions and photos of the room.
The Avenue team worked closely with the client throughout the process. The Brisbane School of Theology actively participated in the aesthetic design process and chose the colours and artwork for the custom Calando Panels to ensure the solution aligned with their vision.
Avenue suggested a comprehensive solution that included custom colour-faced 25mm Calando Panels for the walls, creating a visually appealing feature, and white 25mm Calando Panels for the ceiling to address the reverberation issue effectively.
Calando Panels use a highly advanced acoustic polyester for maximum sound absorption on walls or ceiling surfaces.
Calando Panel can also be customised with Calando Fabric or images for a more personalised look.
Avenue provided prompt service, starting from the initial enquiry to proposal submission, order placement, delivery, and installation, ensuring the project’s timely completion.
Results Achieved by Avenue
The implementation of Avenue’s solution significantly reduced sound reflections in the lecture room, creating a more comfortable and conducive environment for teaching and learning activities.
Brisbane School of Theology immediately experienced the benefits of the solution, with reduced reverberation enhancing the functionality of the space. Additionally, the aesthetic enhancement brought about by the Calando Panels revitalised the room’s appearance.
Beyond immediate benefits, Avenue’s solution is expected to contribute to increased productivity and improved well-being among staff and students over time, fostering a more positive educational environment.
