Visited an office at Nottingham City Council this week. The office in question is extremely reverberant due to the high ceiling, bare plastered walls and lack of any absorption. The two options were either to reduce the volume by installing some kind of suspended ceiling or to increase the room's absorption characteristics. The latter option was favoured as the room itself is very ornate with detailed coving surrounding the ceiling, so it would be a shame to get rid of this.
As a result, I came up with a prototype absorption panel (based on Paul White's design) to be built and tested. If a satisfactory result is obtained the final solution will be to fix half a dozen or so around the office walls with high resolution photographs of Nottingham screen printed on to the fabric covering.
