Moody Middle Gym with Treatment

AlphaEnviro Baffles Make Gym Speech Friendly

Like most school gymnasiums Moody Middle School in Richmond, VA had a noise (reverberation) problem. When the gymnasium was full of students, it was next to impossible to distinguish one conversation from another or hear the public address system.

The school contacted Acoustical Solutions, Inc. to find away to solve this problem. Acoustical Solutions, Inc. installed a series of 2’x4’x2” thick AlphaEnviro hanging baffles in between the ceiling trusses to overcome this problem.


“The difference is astronomical! The PE folks report that announcements can now be heard, 100 sixth graders are loud but not resonant and the teachers in the two classrooms behind the gym have to go out in the hall to see if the other classes are even in the gym. It's amazing what a thin piece of [fiberglass] covered in plastic can do. Thanks to all who had a part in procuring the
sound panels.”
