Broadridge Financial Solutions

In a recent project at Broadridge, a leading financial services company, a unique approach to acoustic treatment was undertaken. The project involved the installation of specialized acoustic panels, cut into equilateral triangles, to create a visually stunning and functionally effective feature wall.

Design Concept and Execution

Creation of the Feature Wall
The central element of this project was the creation of a feature wall using acoustic panels. These panels were meticulously cut into equilateral triangles, showcasing precision and attention to detail. The choice of shape was not only aesthetically pleasing but also contributed to the effective distribution and absorption of sound within the space¹.

Color Scheme and Visual Impact
To enhance the visual appeal, five different shades of blue were used, each carefully selected to align with Broadridge’s corporate colors and interior design theme. The arrangement of these colored panels in a gradient pattern resulted in a striking feature wall that stood out as a centerpiece in the office environment.

Functional Aspects and Acoustic Benefits

Sound Absorption and Noise Reduction
The acoustic panels served a crucial functional purpose. Their strategic placement and the inherent sound-absorbing properties of the materials used contributed significantly to reducing echo and background noise. This created a more acoustically comfortable environment, conducive to productivity and effective communication².

Material Selection and Sustainability
In line with contemporary sustainable practices, the materials chosen for the acoustic panels were eco-friendly, with a focus on minimizing environmental impact. This consideration was integral to the project, aligning with Broadridge’s commitment to sustainability.

Challenges and Innovations

Complexity in Design and Installation
One of the challenges faced during this project was the complexity of the design and the precision required in the installation of the triangular panels. The project team employed advanced cutting techniques and meticulous planning to ensure that the panels fit perfectly, maintaining the integrity of the design³.

Collaboration for Customization
The project was a result of close collaboration between acoustic experts, interior designers, and the Broadridge team. This collaborative effort ensured that the final installation was not only acoustically effective but also aligned with the aesthetic and branding objectives of the company.
