About the space

The leader in risk, strategy and human capital management Marsh & McLennan is a global professional services firm providing advice and solutions in risk, strategy and human capital. When the firm was renovating its Manhattan headquarters many of the company’s offices were converted to open plan layouts. This multi-story skyscraper houses a majority of Marsh & McLennan’s 55,000 employees in midtown Manhattan.

Challenge

Not so private, private offices
The firm’s acoustical consultant on the project felt that the renovation plans could benefit from sound masking from Cambridge Sound Management. Such a wide expanse of office space needed sound masking to reduce conversational distractions. Privacy was essential in the enclosed offices and conference rooms to meet the firm’s legal obligations and ensure confidentiality for managerial conversations.

Solution

Cambridge QtPro® Sound Masking from Biamp

Cambridge QtPro® Sound Masking controls were specified throughout the space. Phase one of the project installed sound masking on eight floors of the building, using several zones per floor for optimal control.

Result

A productive, private and comfortable office space Marsh & McLennan Companies employees have a private workspace with minimal distractions. The company continues to expand Qt Quiet Technology sound masking coverage with the renovation of each additional floor.
