METU SPARG Lab
METU SPARG Lab is a structure specially designed by Mezzo Studyo to eliminate standing waves. No two surfaces in the lab are parallel including the tilted ceiling. The shape of the lab is very special in that it also inspired our logo (see the orange shape at the top of this page). The floor area is 11 sq-meters with a background noise less than 40 dB SPL. The reverberation time is ~80 ms (T30). Our lab is housed in METU/TSK Modsimmer Building.Â
