Established in 1945 by the University of Manchester, Jodrell Bank in Cheshire is a deep-space observatory at the cutting-edge of radio astronomy, and is home to the iconic Lovell Telescope. The Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics is the astronomical research centre of The University of Manchester. The centre is a world leader in radio astronomy-related research and technology development.
To welcome its 150,000 annual visitors and help inspire the next generation of astronomers, the UNESCO World Heritage Site was recently looking to open a new discovery centre.
The brief from our client was they required an acoustic system that mimicked the moon’s surface. Colour of choice was black. We supplied the Absorb-R Gypline Visible Acoustic Spray Plaster which was to be sprayed to the ceilings surface following the contours of the profiled metal deck, providing a Class A Sound Absorption.
