BAP Acoustics worked with HCMA Architecture & Design in the development of the replacement Vancouver Fire Hall No. 17.

Of particular interest was achieving the Indoor Environmental Quality Credit for acoustic performance to meet LEED Gold certification, Passive House certification and Net Zero Energy certification. This involves adequately protecting the dormitory suites from exterior noise disturbance, as well as ensuring that reverberation and background noise in noise sensitive interior spaces is adequately controlled. Construction was completed in 2020.
