Japanese Language School — Reverberation Control & Acoustic Baffles
A teaching environment affected by excessive reverberation. Novico designed an acoustic baffle solution and carried out the installation.
Suspended acoustic baffles installed above the teaching space.
What happened, in order
-
Client problem
Excessive reverberation in a language-school teaching space, where the activity depends on speech being heard clearly and reproduced accurately by learners.
-
Novico scope
Assessment of the reverberation condition, design of an acoustic baffle solution for the space, and installation.
-
Measurement / engineering approach
The room was assessed as built and in use, and an absorption strategy suited to the ceiling construction was selected.
-
Recommendation or implementation
A suspended acoustic baffle arrangement was designed for the space and installed by Novico.
-
Verified outcome
The space was reviewed for teaching use after installation. No measured before-and-after figures or client statements are published for this project.
Reverberation in a teaching space
Excessive reverberation was affecting the teaching environment. In a language school this matters more than in most rooms: the entire activity depends on speech being heard clearly and reproduced accurately by learners.
Novico's response was an acoustic baffle solution, designed for the space and installed by Novico.

Why baffles?
-
01
Assess
Establish the reverberation condition and how it affects the way the room is used.
-
02
Design
Select an absorption strategy that suits the ceiling and the room, in this case an acoustic baffle arrangement.
-
03
Install
Novico carried out the installation of the designed solution.
-
04
Review
Confirm the space performs as intended for teaching use.
