AT ARBOR DAY FARM, ACOUSTI-MAT
II IS THE NATURAL SOLUTION TO SOUND CONTROL
From its open expanse of windows designed to instill an appreciation of
nature to its use of wood as a renewable source of energy for heating
and cooling, Lied Conference Center in Nebraska City, Nebraska, provides
a lesson in environmental stewardship. With Acousti-Mat II, it also provides
an example of state-of-the-art sound control.
Original
Acousti-Mat was used throughout the construction of Phase I, and was so
successful that there was no question about incorporating New Acousti-Mat
II into the additional rooms of Phase II.
A world-class facility dedicated
to the achievement of successful meetings, Lied Conference Center reflects
the mission and goals of its parent organization, The National Arbor Day
Foundation. Situated on the 260-acre Arbor Day Farm, the center overlooks
oak and hickory trees, apple orchards and Arbor Lodge, home of Arbor Day
founder J. Sterling Morton. The center?s design was one of 13 selected
to appear in the American Institute of Architect?s first annual Exhibition
on Environmentally Conscious Architecture in 1991.
