Situated on the picturesque shores of Sydney Harbour in New South Wales, Australia, Taronga Zoo is home to over 4,000 animals from more than 350 species. Over its 100-year history, Taronga Zoo has seen a lot of change and development. The Zoo has a strong commitment to conservation, scientific research, and education. With this ethos at its core and to help shape a future for wildlife and people, the Taronga Institute of Science and Learning was commissioned to be a living laboratory for scientific investigation and conservation education, built to empower the scientists and conservationists of tomorrow.
To be the first of its kind in the Southern hemisphere, the world-class institute will bring science and learning together with immersive habitat classrooms themed around the desert, rainforest, and woodland habitats, and purpose-built laboratories such as the cryopreserve, multi-disciplinary research laboratory, and teaching laboratory. The institute would also house a grand lecture theatre, large open atrium, boardroom, and offices. Acoustic consideration to reduce echo and reverberation within these spaces are very important components of this project.
Beautiful carbon neutral acoustics for spaces where people live, work and learn.
For over 30 years our team has been designing, developing and manufacturing innovative acoustics for the built environment—revolutionising the way acoustic treatments are applied within interior spaces. As passionate creators, we’re constantly tinkering with new concepts and expanding our horizons.
Our acoustic solutions are designed to reduce and control reverberation and echo in building interiors, creating comfortable, acoustically balanced environments. The Autex Acoustics range offers a variety of treatments including wallcoverings, panels, baffles, and screens—easily customised to fit the requirements of your space.
Sustainability has been at the core of how we operate for decades. Being a manufacturer we hold a significant role in reducing the impact of not just our products but our customer’s too. As a result we have worked through a rigorous process to ensure our entire range and global operations are carbon neutral. We see this as our responsibility as we look to protect the resources our environment provides us with for generations to come.
