SM&W Contribution
Shen Milsom & Wilke (SM&W) provided acoustics and audiovisual design services for a Confidential Financial Firm’s Luxembourg office location. The space consisted of two floors and contained various meeting and conferencing spaces, a boardroom, town hall space, cellular offices, pantries, quiet spaces, and open office areas.
SM&W supported the project from concept design through construction administration and project close-out. SM&W faced challenges on this project due to specific weaknesses of the base build, where the team had to correspond with the landlord on behalf of the Confidential Financial Firm to ensure some improvements were made to landlord demise doors and window seals. This took several months to resolve after some persistence from our acoustician on the project.
Another significant challenge encountered was the project program, there was a specific and targeted occupation date due to a pre-arranged visit by the Confidential Financial Firm CEO. It was made clear that the office needed to be ready, and that all consultants were to work diligently to ensure our work was completed stage by stage in a timely manner. SM&W and the remainder of the team succeeded and the office was delivered on time.
Our team delivered on-site inspections monthly through the construction administration scope and led the testing and commissioning for both the acoustics and audiovisual.
