The University of Auckland
Agile provided acoustic and vibration design services for the redevelopment of the University of Auckland’s B201 Health Science Building. The project transformed an existing facility into a high-performance teaching and learning environment, requiring careful coordination to address varied acoustic requirements across teaching, study, and social spaces.
The design focused on achieving appropriate sound control and comfort throughout the building. Key considerations included managing reverberation, background noise, and sound separation to support clear communication and effective learning environments. Agile worked closely with the design team to deliver practical, cost-effective solutions that balanced performance with project constraints.
The project achieved a 6 Green Star Design rating, reflecting a high level of sustainability performance. Agile’s contribution supported Indoor Environment Quality outcomes, ensuring that acoustic performance aligned with broader environmental targets. The result is a well-performing education facility that supports both occupant comfort and long-term building performance.
