Marshall Day Acoustics was selected for this project as part of a rigorous tendering process and the result is a beautiful asymmetrical auditorium design with the acclaimed London based architect, Zaha Hadid, who won the design competition in 2003.

Marshall Day Acoustics is New Zealand's principal port noise acoustic consultants and we have been involved in a number of large scale projects for the majority of the country's ports.  

Civic Place represents one of the most comprehensive cultural infrastructure projects undertaken by a local government authority and Marshall Day Acoustics are pleased to have been appointed as acoustic consultant on this prestigious project on the North Shore of Sydney.

This project included the major refurbishment, restoration and adaptive re-use of a late 1920's atmospheric theatre.  The project required careful consideration of the heritage issues whilst optimising the acoustic environment through innovative designs.

Noise from the first 45MW IHI LM6000 gas turbine located at Bairnsdale, Australia, generated excessive noise levels when operating at loads of 20 and 30MW. At a load of 40MW the acoustically treated plant complied with the project noise level of 37dBA at a distance of 750m, but at low loads the equipment generated excessive noise levels.

Marshall Day Acoustics was acoustic consultant on the recently opened Britomat project. Britomart is a transport, heritage and urban renewal project, located on 5.2 hectares of reclaimed land in Auckland's central business district. It is the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by a local authority in New Zealand, at a total cost of $204 million.

Auckland's Vector Arena is a multi-purpose, technically sophisticated facility that will cater for large and small events.

Federation Square is a vibrant and exciting collection of architecturally striking and individual buildings located at the primary entry to Melbourne's Central Business District.

The Federation Square site includes approximately 48,000 square metres of building floor space located on a 3.8 hectare site. Facilities within the site and their associated acoustic issues include:
