Associate Professor Daniel Butko recently visited and established relationships with several acoustically-based labs, firms, and manufacturers including Riverbank Acoustical Labs (celebrating 100 years since Wallace Sabine’s commissioning), Kirkegaard Associates, ARUP, IAC Acoustics product plant, and NOKIA Bell Labs (home of the oldest existing anechoic chamber).
