PFI schools project, Perth and Kinross

New Acoustics provided acoustic design services on all six new schools in the Perth & Kinross PFI: Blairgowrie Primary, Perth South Primary, Breadalbane Academy, Kinross High School, Crieff High School and Perth RC Campus.

The acoustics in a school can make a huge difference to the ability of a child learn and impacts on how comfortable both staff and students feel throughout the day within the school environment. On the Perth and Kinross schools, New Acoustics provided design advice in order that good acoustics be achieved within all the teaching spaces in the schools, including the large spaces such as gymnasiums, assembly halls and sports facilities.

All teaching spaces were designed and tested in line with the principals of Building Bulletin 93 for noise, sound insulation and reverberation. Planning reports and calculations for BREEAM assessments were also provided where required.
