The Challenge
How to place a large new power plant on the Stanford University campus, next to the golf course, in proximity to Stanford Hospital, other campus buildings, and nearby residences – and still be a good neighbor.
Our Solution
CGA worked with the design team to model the potential noise emission from the new plant, assess possible impacts to neighbors, and worked to incorporate environmental noise control into the design.
