Eurocampus Shanghai is the perfect flagship that represents the essence of Franco-German cooperations – a modern, LEED Platinum certified international school designed for the education and well-being of over 1,600 students. The acoustic challenges were numerous and complex. Spread across two school buildings with shared public spaces, the campus includes a 600-seat auditorium, a canteen, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium. Each space presented specific acoustic needs: ensuring good reverberation control in the auditorium for clear performances, keeping the canteen quiet enough to allow students to recharge, and optimizing speech clarity in the gym and pool for competitions and instruction. Located in a residential neighborhood, the school also required special attention to outdoor noise impact. Student recreation areas and a large piazza are active throughout the day, and we needed to ensure that surrounding homes weren’t disturbed. On the other side, traffic noise from a nearby avenue needed to be kept out — requiring smart, cost-efficient façade insulation.
This project has been LEED Platinum certified, we helped them for the accreditation by focusing on all the acoustic aspects:
- Internal Room acoustics to guaranty the acoustic comfort and quality of sound in sensitive public areas (classrooms, gymnasium, swimming pool, library, theatres, music room, canteen…)
- Airborne sound insulation to adapt the soundproofing of classrooms from adjacent areas
- Impact sound and insulation
- Technical equipment noise and vibration
- Façades and roofs insulation against outside /external noises (road traffic)
Thanks to a collaborative approach, we helped Eurocampus reach its goal of becoming a LEED Platinum certified educational facility. More importantly, the students and teachers now benefit from tailored sound environments throughout the campus — whether they are learning in classrooms, relaxing in shared areas, performing in the theater, or competing in the gym. This is a school that not only looks modern but truly sounds and feels like a place designed for focus, collaboration, and well-being.
