Our Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh
Between 1996 and 1999 RMP Acoustic Consultants provided acoustics services for the Our Dynamic Earth science exhibition centre set at the heart of Edinburgh’s Holyrood urban regeneration project. Designed by Sir Michael Hopkins and incorporating a fabric roof and glass façade, the project presented an acoustics challenge for RMP Acoustic Consultants team. Testing and recommendations on noise break out, services noise control, reverberation time and speech intelligibility were provided from the design stage through to occupation of the state-of-the-art exhibition space and conference, retail and catering facilities.
More recently RMP Acoustic Consultants have designed the O-Zone conference and exhibition space on a top deck. This is a unique free-standing acoustic enclosure designed to provide a high level of acoustic insulation and control of reverberation whilst allowing the outer tent structure to move with weather conditions.
