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.
