  In August 2014, Brian won the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) Architectural Acoustics award for his design Winsford E-Act Academy, Cheshire. The following text, provided by the ANC, summarises Brian’s involvement in the scheme and demonstrates why the acoustic design of Winsford E-Act Academy project was worthy of the award: This 12,500m2 new build school for 1700 pupils, was delivered to a very tight budget of £18.1m achieving all relevant legislative and regulatory requirements, Building Bulletins as well as a BREEAM rating of “very good”. The Acoustician played a proactive role in successful design, without compromising quality, performance or budget. The judges noted that a range of acoustic solutions had been employed and they were very effective in difficult spaces with a limited budget. It was most encouraging to see the integration of acoustics with the design from the earliest stage which had resulted in a successful acoustic environment being created. Talking to the architect at an early stage was an innovative element of this project and an approach which should be adopted wherever possible. The testimonial of the headmaster admirably illustrates why this project is the winner of the 2014 Architectural Acoustics Award: “I can honestly say the acoustics in our new academy build are of the highest standard. I have lost count of the amount of times visitors and staff have commented on the quality of sound. This is an open environment by design and the potential for noise pollution is great without an acoustic design which absorbs the potent. The Theatre is acoustically brilliant. Professional actors and performers never fail to comment on the quality of sound. The acoustic design is without doubt one of the most, if not the most, impressive aspect of this new environment”.
