WATCH THE VIDEOThis new hospital was designed with all aspects of patient wellness in
mind, including taking a proactive design stance on the acoustical
environment. Sound propagation throughout the facility, in both public
and patient areas, was investigated to facilitate selection of proper
sound absorbing and blocking treatments to create calm and private
surroundings for a busy facility. Acoustics By Design recommended
treatments for the two large atriums, verified performance of
architect-selected partition types, and provided direction on sound
isolation for the MR suite. Additionally, a state-of-the-art 90 seat
demonstration kitchen was designed with adequate sound isolation,
interior treatment and low background HVAC noise for future use as a
broadcast auditorium. Henry Ford Health System is also sensitive to the
community where this facility is located and embarked on property line
noise measurements to assure compliance with the local ordinance. LEED
certification is being sought for this beautiful "northern Michigan
lodge" styled building.
