ARPL Architects are delighted to have completed a new music recording studio for Prestwick Academy and South Ayrshire Council. Working closely with the school music department and specialist technical contractor Mediaspec ARPL have helped provide a spectacular new facility for music teaching in South Ayrshire with a live room, control room and digital music suite

The studio comprises a heavy enclosing concrete structure with an acoustically floating timber interior to ensure complete sound separation from the rest of the building. Carefully detailed internal viewing screens and pass doors completes the silent spaces. A technical fit out provides a range of microphones, amplifiers, speakers and mixing desk all linked to a networked range of computers each with state of the art editing software.

Main contractor MCW were required to build the facility to an exacting standard with each junction carefully designed and detailed by ARPL to prevent noise breakout.

Prestwick Academy can now look forward to helping develop a new generation of talented musicians, producers and technicians.
