Crescent Salford’s Post

World-class acoustics building tops out 🔊   The Crescent Partnership is celebrating a major milestone with the topping out of The University of Salford’s new acoustics building – a state-of-the-art facility where research, testing and teaching by specialist academics will take place.   This highly sustainable building is located within Crescent Innovation – a transformative element of the £2.5bn, 240-acre Crescent Salford masterplan. Crescent Innovation will deliver an additional 1.7m sq ft of new research, academic, and commercial floorspace, bringing industry and education together.   The acoustics building will feature:   - A sleep laboratory to understand how noise affects rest and recovery    - A four-chamber Building Environment Testing Suite to measure how effectively modern construction materials protect people from external noise    - Capacity to provide acoustic testing for anything from the hum of a lightbulb to airborne noise.   Once complete in 2027, the acoustics building will put Salford firmly on the map as a city built for the future.
