Auerbach Center, Boston Celtics Practice Facility
Boston MAOriginal Noise Problem
The Boston Celtic’s practice basketball court is located on the fifth floor of the Auerbach Center which is directly above a bio lab. The Celtics organization needed to find a solution to keep noise from the basketball court from interrupting the bio lab tenants.
Solutions/Materials Used
SVA designed, provided, and installed a spring jack-up concrete floating floor system to isolate the basketball court from the building structure. This eliminated the impact noise coming from the basketball activity. The 70,000 sq/ft space required a 4” thick concrete slab, 1” deflection spring mounts and a 1” airspace to eliminate the impact noise from the labs below.
