designing sustainable, employee-centric warehouses | Architecture Today webinar
watch the webinar with Oscar Acoustics Managing Director, Ben Hancock
In warehouse environments, ensuring the comfort and safety of employees is crucial.
Whether it’s the hustle and bustle of busy shifts or the noise from loud machinery, excessive
sound levels in these spaces can significantly impact workers’ wellbeing and
productivity—and even contribute to accidents.
Many industrial employers attempt to tackle excess noise by providing ear defenders. This
creates a health and safety issue where staff can’t hear vital warning signals such as alarms
or oncoming vehicles. A new approach is needed.
Sustainability is also essential in the design of these structures. Utilising materials that
contribute to green building certifications and ensure optimal air quality will not only help
protect your people but also the planet.
Join Ben Hancock, Managing Director of Oscar Acoustics, in the latest Architecture Today
webinar. Ben explains how the design of the Oscar Innovation Centre, our new state-of-the-
art headquarters and warehousing space, achieved acoustic perfection for our employees
while prioritising sustainability.
Every space throughout our purpose-built HQ and warehouse has been acoustically treated
and decorated with finishes from our SonaSpray® range. These seamless acoustic sprays
absorb sound instead of reflecting it, allowing us to create a calm and safe environment for
our industrial employees, fostering focus, minimising hazardous distractions, and ultimately
creating a space where they can thrive.
Additionally, the SonaSpray® range is made from fire-treated, recycled paper and other
rapidly renewable natural resources. This effectively lowered the carbon footprint of the
Oscar Innovation Centre project and contributed to the site being awarded a Green Plaque
for sustainability.
By significantly reducing noise, our class-leading acoustic finishes have helped create
happier, healthier, and more sustainable working environments across Great Britain.
