This space has been independently verified as audio inclusive for noise-sensitive people.
Framework developed in partnership with ISVR

This space has been independently assessed and verified to meet the Sownd Affects Bronze standard for audio inclusion. That means the acoustic environment has been designed and checked to reduce background noise barriers - so you can work, meet, or visit with greater comfort and confidence, even if you’re sensitive to sound.
Background noise levels have been measured and verified against human comfort thresholds, not just building codes.
This isn’t the venue’s own claim. It’s been assessed against the SOWND Certification framework by Sownd Affects.
The acoustic design considers how noise-sensitive people — including neurodivergent individuals — actually experience sound.
Bronze is the verified foundation. The venue can progress to Silver (operational practices) and Gold (optimised experience) over time.
The acoustic environment has been verified at completion against human-centred standards.
Operational practices maintain acoustic performance day-to-day.
The full end-to-end experience is optimised for comfort, choice, and reliable participation.
