Jefferson University

AKRF has provided acoustical consulting on behalf of Stantec for multiple projects at Jefferson, including the design of noise and vibration mitigation for a multi-phase upgrade of complex mechanical systems within Alumni Hall and adaptive re-use of a two-story, out-of-date air handler core/shell for new space.

We measured and analyzed noise and vibration levels during several controlled-demolition mockup tests to help guide the selection of demolition equipment and schedule. We also conducted monitoring during demolition and consulted with the construction manager to identify and troubleshoot exceedance of these thresholds throughout the project.
