Deltagen, Inc., Building 1, Redwood City, CAThis project includes the tenant improvement of an existing 2-story 100,000 GSF steel frame building with offices, conference rooms, laboratories, and a small vivarium. Mei Wu Acoustics’ responsibilities are to select noise criteria for various spaces, provide recommendations on wall design for sound isolation, roof-top mechanical system noise and vibration control, and environmental noise control. |
Genitope Buildings 1 and 2, Fremont, CAThis project is to locate biological laboratories, manufacturing facilities and offices into two existing shell buildings total 214,000 square feet. Mei Wu Acoustics is responsible for the full range of architectural acoustics, MEP system noise control and floor vibration analysis. |
Kaweah Delta Heart Hospital North Expansion, Visalia, CAThis project includes the addition of an 180,000 square feet 6-story new wing to the hospital. Mei Wu Acoustics’ work is to provide noise and vibration control consulting services for the mechanical systems, including the roof-top chillers, cooling towers, and air handling units. |
Kaiser Permanente Clinics at Fremont and Campbell, CAThese projects are about sound isolation of doctor’s offices. Mei Wu Acoustics is responsible for measuring sound transmission loss of existing walls and recommending construction details for the new walls. |
Stanford Hospital Clinical Lab Building, Palo Alto, CAThis includes tenant improvement of two existing two-story office buildings total 114,000 sq. ft. To be located in the buildings are microbiology, molecular pathology, virology and other laboratories. Major mechanical systems are added to the roof and yard. Mei Wu Acoustics’ responsibilities include floor vibration analysis, floor vibration control, and mechanical system noise and vibration control. |
Mayer Hall Addition and Renovation, UC San Diego, CAThis project includes a major renovation of the 90,000 GSF existing Mayer Hall building and an addition of 79,000 GSF to the building. This 5-story building has offices, classrooms, research laboratories, teaching laboratories, scholarly activity areas, and other support functions. Mei Wu Acoustics is responsible for mechanical system noise and vibration control, floor vibration analysis for sensitive equipment, and architectural acoustics for various spaces. |
The Crossing Phase I – Meridian Apartment, San Bruno, CAThis project includes the design and construction of a 5-story 300-unit apartment building with a 5-6 story “embedded” parking structure and detached recreation and business center. The building is located near major freeways and the San Francisco International Airport. Mei Wu Acoustics’ responsibilities include wall and floor sound isolation, parking structure noise and vibration control, environmental noise control, and mechanical and plumbing system noise control. |
Residential Hall, Santa Clara University, CAMei Wu Acoustics was the acoustics consultant for this wood frame 4-story building including housing for 260 students and 5 faculty members and a common area with classrooms and seminar rooms. The major work was wall and floor/ceiling sound isolation. |
