Carey Olsen employs over 300 staff, including 130 lawyers, in its offices in Guernsey, Jersey and London. The firm’s client base includes governments, financial institutions, regulatory bodies, global and national corporations, professional firms and individuals.
In Spring 2009, Carey Olsen’s Guernsey office moved into a newly refurbished three-storey building adjacent to the Admiral Park office development in St Peter Port, the Island’s town centre. The ground floor comprises a reception area, client meeting rooms and a collection of open and closed offices. In order to ensure speech privacy in and between meeting rooms and open office space, Acoustic Comfort was contacted to develop an effective acoustic solution. A layer of 40mm Rockwool was installed above the metal perforated ceiling together with the LogiSon sound masking system.
To ensure the solution was effective, a trial was conducted in three of the second floor board rooms, where each room is divided by folding walls. After the success of the trial, Acoustic Comfort were commissioned to provide the solution in all cellular offices and meeting rooms and this was subsequently extended to all areas including the open plan. The challenge was to install some 2,039m² of Rockwool and 181 sound masking speakers without disrupting the day-to-day business at Carey Olsen. The installation team worked nights from 6pm to 6am for two weeks, so that each morning the offices were left ready for business.
The solution for Carey Olsen completely solved an issue which is critical to a business model that requires concentration and confidentiality in its communication. This was delivered quickly and with no disruption to the business. “I am extremely pleased with the solution provided by Acoustic Comfort; their approach to installation ensured minimum disruption to the daily working environment of the firm and, crucially, has ensured that we continue to maintain excellent standards of client communication.”
