Space Needle Renovation
Coffman (as BRC) provided architectural acoustics and mechanical system noise control design for the renovated Space Needle. Sound control between visitor levels was accomplished by incorporating acoustical material into the slotted wood architecture of the Oculus stairway. A high-finish acoustical ceiling material was specified for the observation level and other areas to control reverberant sound levels and overall loudness during periods of high occupancy.
The relocation of mechanical systems into extremely limited spaces in the ceilings above visitor areas necessitated specialized design for noise control. Coffman developed noise criteria for occupied spaces and met the challenge of incorporating noise control elements into the system design for compliance with established criteria.
