The architect for a new
church or remodel is responsible to work out in advance on paper
most all of the dreams and nightmares that accompany the building
of a church. Adding an acoustic engineer to the design team early
in the design stage insures that the sound and noise will work for
the church. The engineer reviews the architect plans and “redlines”
or makes comments and suggestions about improving the acoustical
aspects of the design. Success is in the detail, from not putting
toilets on the same wall as the prayer room and where the day care
is located to which way office doors open.
ASC
founder and Chief Engineer Art Noxon can also provide official comments
and findings as requested by your Building Department. These findings
are stamped by Mr. Noxon's P.E. seal of approval. While there are
many acoustic professionals, Mr. Noxon is regarded by many as "one
of the best" in the unique field of church acoustics, and he
has over 20 years experience.
No
project is too complex for us to manage. Instead of handing out
standard boilerplate answers, ASC actually can save churches money
by finding the right places to put the right amount of the right
kind of acoustics. We aim to improve intelligibility while maintaining
the inspirational "big" sound that lifts up the whole
congregation.
