In talking with Andy, I was struck by how much he cares about how sound and noise affect all people, including the minority who might be considered outliers in their sensitivity to noise.
As problem-solvers, we often want to use mathematics to explain our solutions; however, numbers are not always the answer. At the end of the day, creating a peaceful environment experientially and physically is the ultimate goal.
There are similarities between a well-oiled machine and a well-oiled institute: creating efficiencies in the physical designs, collaborations in past and present research, and proper maintenance.
