Houston, TX / Healthcare / Noise and distraction
Focus space that shuts out the floor for Healthcare teams in Houston, TX
Houston's medical district runs some of the busiest clinical floors in the country, and quiet corners are scarce.
The problem
Open floors were designed to put people together, and they carry sound in every direction. Headphones mask the noise but they do not stop a colleague walking over, and the cost of each interruption is paid in the time it takes to get back to the work.
Clinical staff chart between patients, and the floor they chart on is the same floor that runs alarms, intercom pages, and family conversations.
What renting changes
A rented pod puts a closed, acoustically treated room on the floor you already have. It reduces what reaches the person inside by up to 43 dB, which turns a 75 dB open plan into something closer to a library.
