Our most profound influence on the project was to encourage a cost conscious scientific approach to the noise control design. The original proposal for the building called for double layers of masonry or concrete above, below and beside all studios. Our recommendations for isolated concrete and gypsum board systems were treated with skepticism initially but have proved entirely successful. The Glenn Gould Studio, for example, is one of the quietest performance/recording venues in the country, also one of the busiest. Applying reliable innovations in noise control science saved the developer millions of dollars, without sacrificing quality.
