In 2019, Delhom Acoustics was selected through a public tender to support the construction of the new École Maurice Fonvieille in Pibrac. Developed in partnership with GGR Architectes, the project required a precise and compliant acoustic design in schools—ensuring that classrooms, medical rooms, circulation areas, and shared spaces would meet national regulatory standards. Acoustic emission and reception limits had to be modeled for each room pairing. For example, a classroom emitting 100 dB could not transmit more than 57 dB into a neighboring medical room, demanding 43 dB of sound insulation. The goal was to anticipate and solve every acoustic challenge before construction began.

Delhom Acoustics collaborated with the architectural and structural teams from the earliest stages. We conducted detailed acoustic modeling to determine target reverberation and insulation values. Reverberation control in classrooms was achieved through perforated plasterboard ceilings. Timber cladding was added to façades for thermal and acoustic gains. Corridors were acoustically separated using lightweight partitions within a hybrid concrete-wood structure. For the courtyard, we specified a perforated metal ceiling backed by absorbent materials. Every material choice and layout recommendation was adapted to meet performance, durability, and architectural goals.

The school was delivered in 2022 with measured compliance to French acoustic standards. Acoustic performance was validated on-site, confirming isolation and reverberation goals. Teachers now benefit from enhanced speech clarity, and students enjoy quieter, more focused learning spaces. The school avoided costly on-site corrections thanks to early coordination. Numerous studies confirm that acoustic comfort supports cognitive development, attention, and reduced stress—especially in primary education. This project is a clear example of how expert sound design can enhance both daily use and long-term educational outcomes.
