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.

		With Acousti-Mat II installed in the hallways guests aren't bothered by noises of other guests, luggage or carts rolling down the halls.
