Hospitals serve many people every day. The right atmosphere is vital, as a hospital should not feel like an institution, but should be seen as a calm space. Here you can find out how to create the perfect acoustic environment for patients and staff.
Many people visit the hospital every day and they interact in their own way in each space. In a hospital, the built environment creates the right atmosphere to make patients and caregivers feel comfortable, safe and healthy. This raises the complexity of architecture and influences the way we think about hospital design.
Soundproofed healthcare spaces and hospitals help the recovery process. Patients get more rest and there is better communication between staff and patients. Lobby areas of children's hospitals and care centres are often noisy, leading to poor communication and fatigue between staff and patients.
Sound control treatments such as acoustic wall panels and ceiling tiles help to reduce ambient noise levels and create a better working environment.
We can help you meet the HIPPA regulations requiring patient confidentiality and acoustic treatment around the meeting area. Fabric-covered acoustic panels with a cleanable surface work best in these spaces.

Acoustically, reception needs to have good noise control to absorb many distractions and calm the space, and good light reflection to create a bright waiting space for patients.
The waiting room is part of the treatment and in order for the patient to feel calm, the room must have a warm and calming feeling of natural light and calming colours.
We know that public areas with lots of visitors can be a nuisance; the challenge is to keep them comfortable, so we need to consider some acoustic design tips.

Corridors and corridors perform different functions and they are often busy arteries of the hospital. Travelled by patients, visitors, staff, medical equipment and trolleys. This is never-ending traffic, which, together with offices, patients and medical operating rooms, creates design complexity. It is vital to design active designs that are highly functional, easy to navigate and have good acoustics and privacy.
Privacy and a comfortable acoustic environment are essential when patients are recovering and resting in nearby wards. Confidentiality in the design is important as
