Project Highlight: The Golf House Pinehurst in North Carolina is a USGA world-class golf innovation hub consisting of two new buildings: the Visitor Center and the Testing Center + Administration.

The buildings include an equipment testing facility, innovation hub, museum/visitors center, offices, and conference rooms. Collectively, the spaces total approximately 44,000sf. Thorburn Associates provided acoustic and vibration consulting services and audiovisual/low voltage technology design.

As part of the technology design, Thorburn Associates provided audiovisual system designs for conference rooms and meeting spaces. In addition, Thorburn Associates provided telecom and security system designs for the entire project. The design team met with the owner's representatives and determined the technology system functional requirements, defined the end-user’s needs and developed a preliminary budget for the technology systems.

Throughout the construction, Thorburn Associates conducted multiple visits to the site to determine if all the acoustical and technology recommendations were properly implemented.

The USGA has created a visitor friendly, interactive experience preserving the game of golf, its history, and the legacies of those who have made the game what it is today.

Project Hightlight: Peppervine, a restaurant located within the Piedmont Town Center of Charlotte, NC underwent a renovation of an existing 8,000sf space.

Nestled on a prominent corner within a mixed-use development, the restaurant space had upscale condominium units located directly above and a neighboring retail tenant, separated by a south demising wall.

Distinct from traditional fine dining, this restaurant exudes an inviting atmosphere. A key objective of the owner was to foster effortless and casual conversations for patrons at each table. To achieve this, particular attention was given to acoustical treatments. With high ceilings, the primary concern rested upon mitigating sound accumulations during busy hours.

Thorburn Associates reviewed the architectural drawings and provided recommendations to control excessive reflective and reverberant sound. The acoustical elements applied were not only functional but also seamlessly integrated behind the lighting and other interior design features.

Thorburn Associates creates designs to increase intelligibility, especially at the entrance of this restaurant to give a grand first impression of the space.

Additional recommendations were provided by Thorburn Assocaites regarding the food service equipment, the HVAC, and the audio system layout to ensure that vibration levels were at a minimum. In the end, Thorburn Associates harnessed the science of sound to create a pleasing dining experience for all guests to enjoy.

Project Highlight: Davidson College – Hance Auditorium

Hance Auditorium is a 115-seat multi-purpose presentation space located on the top floor, under the dome of the Chambers Building at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina.

With comfortable seating and adjustable configurations, it is an intimate space for presentations, club and group meetings, guest speakers, and video screenings for a variety of classes.

Project Highlight: The Sullenberger Aviation Museum is a modern facility located next to the runway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, comprising of three distinct structures – a Welcome Center, a Main Gallery covering an area of 42,000sf, and a pre-existing Metal Hangar. Given the facility’s proximity to the runway, special attention was paid to minimizing exterior noise transmission to the more acoustically sensitive areas such as the offices, classrooms, and meeting spaces.

To achieve this, Thorburn Associates conducted an on-site acoustical assessment, collected data, and presented recommendations to mitigate sound disruptions caused by nearby aircraft movements.

Project Highlight: W.C. Overfelt High School in San Jose, California

The existing 3,200sf building required a modernization/ transformation to create a new administrative wing.

The project also included the addition of an approximately 24,000sf steel-framed performing arts center. The new building houses a 200-seat theatre; classrooms for music, art, photography and drama programs, including an 80-piece band room and a photo lab with a dark room.

After a review of the architectural drawings, Thorburn Associates helped define acoustical design goals and made recommendations for background noise levels from the mechanical systems, reverberation time in the Recital Hall, Band Room and conference spaces, and room acoustics and sound isolation between acoustically sensitive areas. A theatrical audiovisual system including projection, recording capabilities and a distributed audio system was designed for the theatre. AV systems for the band and drama rooms as well as the conference room were also included.
