Chris Day Awarded Fellowship of the Acoustical Society of NZ
At the recent Acoustics NZ 2024 conference held 2-4 September at the Christchurch Town Hall, the Acoustical Society of New Zealand (ASNZ) honoured our co-founder, Chris Day, with a Fellowship.
This award recognises his significant contributions and long-standing commitment to the acoustic consulting industry, as well as his dedication to the ASNZ. Chris was incredibly grateful to accept the Fellowship, which he dedicated to the great Sir Harold Marshall. He now joins the ranks of fellow MDA team members (past and present), Sir Harold, Siiri Wilkening, Graham Warren, Stuart Camp and Keith Ballagh.
Chris is a founding partner of Marshall Day Acoustics, with over 40 years of experience in acoustics. Originally from Australia, where he studied Mechanical Engineering at Monash University, he embarked on a year-long sailing trip with Peter Fearnside before settling in New Zealand in 1981.
It was at this time that Sir Harold Marshall and Chris Day officially opened their doors in Auckland as Marshall Day Acoustics. His engineering background complemented Sir Harold’s architectural skills and paved the way for Marshall Day Acoustics to become one of the world’s largest independent acoustic consultancies.
Chris is known for being exceptionally kind, always open and willing to share his knowledge and experience, and his unwavering passion for the acoustics industry with others. We’re thrilled to see his many achievements acknowledged, so please join us in congratulating Chris on this well-deserved achievement.
