Hodgson & Hodgson Improves the Environment for Students at the London School of Economics
Acoustics specialist Hodgson & Hodgson has given student accommodation at the London School of Economics an acoustic makeover. Passfield Hall, the oldest of the LSE’s student residences, has become the latest recipient of Hodgson & Hodgson’s expertise in noise reduction and sound improvement.
As part of the refurbishment of Passfield Hall, the LSE wanted to improve sound insulation between floors. Hodgson & Hodgson’s Reduc Micro acoustic flooring was chosen to lessen the reverberation through the existing timber floors caused by impact and airborne sound. Consequently, 2800m² of Reduc Micro was laid in corridors and bedrooms throughout the building, overlaying the original floors.
“Reduc Micro offers excellent impact and airborne sound improvement at a very reasonable cost,” comments Glynne Balshaw-Jones of Hodgson & Hodgson. “Budget is always an important consideration, but especially so for educational establishments. I’m pleased we were able to provide a cost-effective solution for the LSE, without compromising on noise reduction.”
The LSE’s Passfield Hall is a four-storey listed Georgian building in the heart of Bloomsbury. Its recently-completed refurbishment means that students living there now have a unique mix of the traditional and modern in which to eat, sleep, study and socialise.
