Check out our latest blog, written by Jason Martinez and Jay Epstein RCDD on designing AV and telecommunications for Esports facilities. Esports spaces require special attention to equipment, player experience, and university branding - similar to other collegiate sports. The National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) has seen rapid growth in membership in just a few years - and with tens of millions of dollars in scholarship funds, there is still a lot of room for expansion.

We are excited to showcase the new Somerville High School, which recently opened its doors to some 1,600 students. Acentech provided acoustics and AV design for the six-story, 396,000-square-foot building, with specialized spaces for the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, science labs, art studios, three music rooms, a multi-level media center, a fully renovated gymnasium, a collegiate-style lecture hall, outdoor learning and dining areas, and state-of-the-art technology throughout. The historic gym (more recently a library), has been reborn as a new 750-seat auditorium, with the original façade and grand stair restored as a public entrance facing Highland Avenue. Large windows throughout the building bring in natural light and create connections with the outdoors. Congrats to SMMA and the entire design, engineering and construction team!

To celebrate Black History Month, Acentech is highlighting the work of James West, the inventor of the foil electret microphone. A Black American inventor and acoustician, he holds over 250 patents for microphones and electronics. As a child, he was fascinated by the mechanics of appliances and gadgets. "If I had a screwdriver and a pair of pliers, anything that could be opened was in danger," West would later recollect. "I had this need to know what was inside."​​​​​​​​
