Solutions

Not every situation calls for the same action.

Sometimes good practice or setting aside a calmer zone is enough; in other cases the space needs to be analysed or a bespoke solution designed.

Four levels of support

Each level works on its own, but works best as part of the whole.

What it looks like in practice

Three typical situations: the space, the solution used and the outcome. Illustrative shots, not documentation of actual installations.

A corridor during break

The space
Break-time noise, with nowhere for a pupil to take a break from the stimulation.
Solution
A single-person booth placed against the corridor wall.
Outcome
A short rest with no explanations needed and without leaving the floor.

A conversation that needs privacy

The space
The office is occupied and the conversation can be heard from the corridor.
Solution
A two-person booth near the administrative area.
Outcome
A meeting with the school counsellor or a parent consultation without booking a room.

Working in a small group

The space
At peak times the after-school room and the reading room offer no conditions for concentration.
Solution
A larger booth for several pupils at once.
Outcome
Catch-up sessions and project work in a separate, quieter space.

Which booth fits your need?

Answer a few short questions about how the space will be used. The test gives a first indication of which booth size is worth considering.

The result is indicative only and does not replace an individual assessment of the school’s needs.

Based on the answers given. The final model, fittings and placement are agreed after we have seen the space at the school.

Acoustic booths for schools and other settings

Four variants differing in how many people they hold and what they are for. We start from how the booth will be used, not from its dimensions.

Arc-S - booth for 1 person

Quiet time, individual work, a short break from stimulation, a phone call.

See the uses →Ask about this model →

Arc-M - booth for 2 people

A conversation that needs privacy - a pupil with the school counsellor, a parent consultation, one-to-one teaching.

See the uses →Ask about this model →

Arc-L - booth for 4 people

Small-group work: catch-up sessions, consultations, project work.

See the uses →Ask about this model →

Arc-XL - booth for 6 people

Group sessions and staff team meetings. It needs the most floor area - we confirm the location on site.

From a need to a finished space

How working with a school looks step by step - six stages we go through together.

1

A conversation about needs

Where and when the problem occurs, and who it affects.

2

Analysis of the space

Measuring the noise level and checking conditions in the room.

3

Choosing the solution

Deciding the level of intervention: organisation, materials or a dedicated zone.

4

Agreeing the details

Fittings, finishes, placement, evacuation requirements and power supply.

5

Installation or roll-out

Delivery, on-site assembly and commissioning, at a time that does not clash with lessons.

6

Wrap-up

Rules of use, and agreement on who uses the space and on what terms.

Technical documentation

Every figure we cite in conversation with a school has to be backed by a document. The items below will be added once the documentation is complete.

Not sure which solution to start with?

Describe the space and the problem your school is dealing with. We will help work out whether what is needed is an organisational change, sound-absorbing materials or a dedicated acoustic zone.
