Project Description
Ramboll was appointed by
Miller Construction to carry
out the design of new offices
for Airbus at Filton.
The multi-discipline project
incorporated structural, civil,
and acoustic design.
The client was keen to
maintain multiple open plan
office floors opening onto a
central 4 story high atrium
with a large cafeteria at the
ground floor.
The acoustic design needed to
maintain good levels of
privacy between working
zones and minimize floor to
floor noise transfer.
It was also a requirement of
the brief to achieve all
available BREEAM credits under
Hea13 and Pol8, which relate
to acoustic design conditions
and environmental noise
emissions.
Careful design and detailing
was required for partitions
between meeting rooms and
cellular offices to ensure good
standards of acoustic privacy
were achieved.
Ramboll undertook pre-
completion acoustic testing to
demonstrate compliance with
the BREEAM credits.
