Soundblox applied again after 40 years in renovation Erasmus University of Rotterdam

Sound absorption is essential, especially in lecture halls, classrooms and other areas where knowledge transfer takes place. Soundblox acoustic concrete blocks are specially designed to reduce reverberation in a room and increase speech intelligibility. Soundblox acoustic blocks are an ideal solution to integrate sound absorption into a robust stable (partition) wall, which can also be built up high.

In the renovation of the Sanders Building at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Soundblox was again used in the lecture halls, a logical choice given the university's decades of experience with optimized room acoustics and greatly improved speech intelligibility in the lecture halls,

Soundblox acoustic solution provides a pleasant room experience through their sound absorbing properties within the frequencies of the speech area, which is crucial in a space where knowledge transfer takes place.

A room with good acoustic qualities and optimal speech intelligibility has a direct effect on learning performance. Obnoxious reverberation is reduced so that the teacher can be understood well anywhere in the room and a pleasant sound experience is created, but also because the attention curve of students is extended.

With Soundblox, we once again succeeded in creating a sense of calm, not only because of the pleasant sound experience but also because of the aspect. Through the combination of bright and neutral colors and attention to acoustics, a comfortable learning environment was realized, where students can concentrate optimally. And Erasmus University is again ready for the next 40 years!
