Emergency Control Room – London Police

The acoustics in control rooms is a fine balance between comfort and maintaining intelligibility. Taking the open plan office approach would likely reduce intelligibility during critical operations so initially half the recommended sound absorption has been installed, with an option to increase the quantity based on feedback.

The control room itself has a low concrete ceiling with exposed services. Vertical fabric covered ReSorb Baffles were installed tight to the ceiling in a configuration to reduce sound travel over distance whilst retaining good communication at shorter distances.

ReSorb Baffles are available to order online through our ReSorb site:
