Acoustics By Design
Acoustics By Design provided comprehensive acoustical consulting for the new Davenport University Student Center & Field House. Our professional engineers used 3D computer models to predict the acoustical response of the spaces and to design room acoustics, HVAC noise control, and noise isolation for all the critical spaces in the building including the Field House, Aux Gym, Fitness Center, Commons Area, and Meeting Rooms. This new, LEED Certified building serves as the hub of student life and activity for Davenport's W.A. Lettinga Campus.
ASCOM, Inc.
A NEW ATHLETIC COMPLEX FOR DAVENPORT UNIVERSITY

LOCATION: SW SUBURBS OF GRAND RAPIDS, MI.
One aspect in the plan to expand Davenport University was the plan to grow its athletic program. To accomplish this plan it was necessary to construct a fieldhouse; a showcase facility that would exemplify Davenport University and its theme of diversity and growth.
Building products and contractors were selected to insure that spectators would enjoy their time attending a Davenprot event in the Fieldhouse. ASCOM, Inc. was chosen to design, build, and install the many communications systems including the Gym sound system. The sound system provides smooth coverage throughout the facility regardless of seating location, home side, visitor side, or Gym floor. This feature allows for a complete range of events to be held in the facility without the worry of fans being able to hear. Audio panels located in numerous locations throughout the facility allows for a diverse quanity of event set ups to happen without the need for additional cables.
Davenport has joined the NAIA division of the NCAA and has expanded their athletic teams from 2 to 24.
