The research performed in this space helps inform policies related to efforts as varied as troop deployment overseas, TSA security line procedures, and the Mars space mission.
To effectively support this research, the design incorporates a series of sound-isolated rooms which rely on floating floors and spring suspended ceilings with triple-thick walls to achieve a STC 76 rating. The entire subject area is monitored via cameras and microphones and wired for high fidelity sound. A remote Control Area features eight large monitors which are capable of featuring a variety of video feeds. Electrical and data wire mold is provided throughout to maximize flexibility within the space. Each space can be conditioned separately within a large temperature range to allow for heat stress testing.
