The Arup Journal 1990 - Issue 2

We ensured careful retention of the facades and important original internal features, and delivered an open plan space surrounding a new atrium that has been opened up beneath a new mansard roof, with the whole redevelopment serviced for high technology needs.

We move on to look at 10 years of Arup Acoustics. Alongside a short summary of key events, we look at three different projects in more detail: the railway vibration isolation at Birmingham International Convention Centre, environmental noise assessment at the Wytch Farm Oilfield development in Dorset and the acoustic consultancy for Phase 1 of Alexandra Palace's restoration.

We also look at a scheme to add natural ventilation to a 1950s shopping centre in Epsom, the design of foundations for a new shopping centre in Kingston-upon-Hull, and explore the methods employed in three projects to maintain water levels in marinas and harbours.
