Australian War Memorial “Teacup”
Hanson Associates provided acoustics advice to improve conditions in the “teacup”, a space for educational events located amongst the high impact audio visual exhibits in the Anzac Hall. Current weaknesses in sound insulation are causing distraction to school groups and restricting the room’s use to events that are less sensitive to noise. Concepts for three levels of upgrade were put forward for further development by the project team and architect.
Heide Gallery of Modern Art, Heide II Refurbishment, Victoria
Hanson Associates was commissioned to undertake noise control engineering for the climate control systems in Heide II, a 1960s modernist and heritage listed building.
Southbank Cultural Precinct Redevelopment (Hamer Hall)
A key objective for the digital precinct is to enhance the experience for both theatre goer and visitor by encouraging audience interaction and expanding the performance arena to encompass the entire precinct. Through collaboration with exhibit designers, the architects and the Arts Centre technical and marketing departments, Hanson Associates is designing selected venue and corporate facilities including digital signage, IPTV, outside broadcast, paging communications.
SA Water Public Exhibition Space, Adelaide
In 2008, Hanson Associates completed an extensive corporate and public interactive audio visual facility as part of the new six green star rated SA Water headquarters and control centre. At the heart of the SA Water’s public education program, this flexible auditorium and exhibition space incorporates a themed presentation theatre and several interactive exhibits and displays to support multiple educational and corporate orientated room formats. The project also included a statewide control centre, water testing laboratories, call centre and video conference enabled collaborative office spaces.
