VALUE

$2.6 million

Engine Room provided Project Management services for the refurbishment of UNSW’s Main Library on level 2, converting the existing staff office space into a series of student study, multimedia, dining and lounge areas. To accommodate this mixed-use area and the sheer number of students, acoustic considerations were paramount.

The existing suspended tile ceiling was removed and replaced with a two-layer acoustic ceiling system of slab mounted acoustic panels, and an array of suspended acoustic discs made from recyclable polyester fibre panels. Ceiling services were exposed and run between these two layers. Multimedia pods, wrap-around study carrels.
