Considerations for media center design in unconventional environments

Abstract

The consolidation and simplification of media in production environments has rapidly changed the way that many businesses develop content. Rather than outsourcing media development, many clients have undertaken the task to develop content for both internal and external consumption by building in-house media centers. This paper will focus on some of the lessons learned for these types of projects from both a remediation and new construction process. Acoustical solutions for projects of varying budget and scope including room acoustics, sound isolation, and HVAC noise abatement will also be explored.
