Al-Rass Business Administration Campus

A Girls' Section Lecture Hall for Al-Rass Business Administration Campus, delivered as part of Qassim University's wider lecture hall programme. The hall follows the university's established acoustic concept, with perforated acoustic timber wall panels paired with matching perforated acoustic ceiling panels, and anti-panic folding wood writing tablets equipping every seat for note-taking. The result is a 220-seat hall consistent with the university's coherent acoustic identity across its campuses.

A university lecture hall needed to carry a proven acoustic wall-and-ceiling concept and note-taking seating solution into a new campus.

This Girls' Section Lecture Hall at Al-Rass is part of Qassim University's wider lecture hall programme and follows the coordinated acoustic and architectural design established across the university's halls.

Perforated acoustic timber wall panels are paired with matching perforated acoustic gypsum board ceiling panels, and every seat has an anti-panic folding wood writing tablet.

The 220-seat hall carries the university's design language into the Al-Rass campus.

Challenge

A university lecture hall needed to carry a proven acoustic wall-and-ceiling concept and note-taking seating solution into a new campus.

As with its sister lecture halls, the brief called for a considered relationship between wall and ceiling acoustic treatment and a seating solution suited to daily academic use.

A concept proven elsewhere in the programme needed to carry into a new campus without losing its consistency.

Solution

The same perforated acoustic timber wall panels and matching perforated acoustic gypsum ceiling panels were applied, with anti-panic folding wood writing-tablet seating throughout.

Acoustic timber wall panels were perforated in the same harmonised pattern of points used across the programme, paired with matching perforated acoustic gypsum board ceiling panels.

Seating throughout uses anti-panic folding wood writing tablets, giving students a stable note-taking surface without compromising row circulation.

Outcomes

A 220-seat lecture hall consistent with the university's established acoustic design language.

From first survey to final finish

One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.

Acoustic Survey

A surveyor visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.

Acoustic Assessment

Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.

Acoustic Design

Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.

Specification & Quotation

Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.

Acoustic Product Supply

Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.

Acoustic Installation

Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.

Acoustic Testing & Compliance

Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.
