Xorel Artform: Acoustical Function with High Style Case Study Location University of Virginia Product & End Use Xorel Artform Waveline Photographer: Lincoln Barbour Photography 1 of 1 DESIGN CHALLENGE: When it came to the renovation of a language lab at the University of Virginia, Jennifer Greenhalgh, owner of Jackson + Park Design faced a challenge. On any given day, multiple students were in the space, speaking various languages to each other or with an online partner. All those intermingled voices weren’t simply noisy; they were disruptive to the students. They needed a space where they could concentrate. DESIGN SOLUTION: To create an acoustical design to help absorb the voices and add an artful element to the space, Greenhalgh found that Xorel Artform, an acoustical paneling system installed on the walls was the solution. Using Design Ally, Carnegie’s complimentary service that includes layout assistance; Greenhalgh was able to narrow down the 11 panel shapes and 300-plus colors and textures to find the perfect fit and configuration for the space as well as in subsequent projects at the University of Virginia. “Carnegie’s Design Ally team is excellent. If I don’t have the time to do layout options, they will provide me with options based on my space and color scheme. This helps me provide my clients with the best possible final product. “
