An exclusive private Sydney school in Normanhurst utilises Bildspec’s Collaborative Panels (movable acoustic walls) to enhance the ever-changing, dynamic learning spaces in their classrooms.
Bildspec installed these acoustic moving walls for the head contractor, Urban Fitouts, in conjunction with the architect on the project, Allen Jack + Cottier.
These Bildspec Series 100 panels float around the desired teaching area along an overhead tracking system, enabling educators to modify the learning space depending on the class attendance or desired learning outcomes.
Apart from being clad with vitreous enamel magnetic whiteboards for teaching, these movable acoustic walls have a perforated acoustic veneer top and bottom to absorb sound and reduce reverberation. Note that there are many face finishes that can be used on the surface of each operable wall to improve the NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient)/reverberation acoustic quality of the space through sound absorption. This enhances speech intelligibility, which greatly enhances the learning experience.
Each panel has an integrated locking foot on each side to stabilise the panel in its required position so that they can be written on without moving.
“Staff and students just love the freedom it gives and they use them all the time!”
