NJIT in the News

The Listening Studio, a unique new audio and visual laboratory with state-of-the-art testing equipment for the hearing impaired, designed by architect Brooks Atwood, an NJIT adjunct professor of architecture, has opened in lower Manhattan. 

The Listening Studio, a breakthrough innovation for people with hearing loss that recently opened at the Center for Hearing and Communication in lower Manhattan, was fabricated by students and faculty at NJIT's College of Architecture and Design using the university's Fabrication Laboratory, or FABLAB. The audio and video installation is acoustically designed to simulate an array of real-life listening environments. Brooks Atwood, an adjunct professor of architecture at NJIT and a principal of POD DESIGN+MEDIA LLC, helped design the project. The Studio is open to the public by appointment only by calling (917) 305-7766. 

Works by Brooks Atwood, an adjunct professor at NJIT’s New Jersey School of Architecture and a principal of POD DESIGN+MEDIA LLC will be on display through May 18, 2008 at the Re-Imagining ASIA Exhibition & Conference in Berlin, Germany. Atwood’s first collaboration with artist Michael Joo won the grand prize at the 6th annual biennale in Gwangju, South Korea.
