This two-story, 30,467-square-foot library has floor-to-ceiling glass along three sides of the building. Its interior incorporates flexible walls so that spaces can be adapted to meet a multitude of needs.
AVANT ACOUSTICS provided the following services:
Project Highlights:
AVANT ACOUSTICS designed the building-wide paging system, study room video collaboration system, and meeting room presentation systems. AVANT also consulted on the room acoustics and mechanical noise control.

The Athene USA offices include an 8-story tower and adjoining commons building which houses 1,300 employees and cost over $150 million. The facility sits on an 88-acre site on the outskirts of the city, and features extensive outdoor pathways and several ponds.
AVANT ACOUSTICS provided the following services:
Project Highlights:
AVANT ACOUSTICS’ design included several multi-configuration training rooms, dozens of conference rooms, a building-wide room scheduling and maintenance system to serve the meeting spaces, a digital signage system throughout the facility, and sound masking on all seven floors of open work/collaboration areas. The executive boardroom features a large rear projection screen and teleconferencing.
The “All Hands” system pictured includes three projection screens with production-level video processing capability and live audio mixing. This system enables the client to host large meetings and events in-house, rather than renting out spaces and AV equipment several times a year.

Mosaic Life Care’s urgent care facility in St. Joseph, Missouri, provides care and treatment of immediate medical issues, including illness and injury.
AVANT ACOUSTICS provided the following services:
Project Highlights:
At this Mosaic Life Care facility, noise was being transmitted from the recovery area to the nursing station. In addition to disturbing work, the lack of speech privacy in the recovery area created HIPAA concerns.
AVANT ACOUSTIC conducted a thorough evaluation of the spaces. AVANT recommended ceiling tile replacement, installing sound-absorbing wall panels, and strategically placing glass panels to “acoustically” separate the nursing station from the surrounding patient areas. The glass panels would act as sound barriers, and create a sound-reflective surface to bounce sound back within the nursing station, solving the noise issues in these spaces.

Project Highlights:
AVANT ACOUSTICS designed very functional yet cost effective audio-visual and sound reinforcement systems for several conference and training rooms. These systems include touchpanel interfaces, motorized projection screens, and integrated teleconferencing capabilities.
