Acoustics are no longer a “nice-to-have” in institutional design—they are a critical performance requirement. From healthcare to education to government buildings, clients expect quieter, more private, and more human-centered spaces. One of the most overlooked elements in achieving this? The door assembly.

This session will explore the role of acoustic door systems in delivering effective sound control and meeting modern building standards—followed by a rare behind-the-scenes tour of Ambico’s manufacturing facility.

Founded in 1955, Ambico has evolved from a family-run construction business into a globally recognized manufacturer of specialized high-performance doors, frames, and windows. With over 65 years of experience, Ambico is known for delivering innovative, rigorously tested solutions used in some of the most demanding environments, including hospitals, universities, government facilities, and high-security applications.

Their product portfolio includes acoustic, blast-resistant, bullet-resistant, and custom-engineered assemblies, supported by advanced manufacturing capabilities and international partnerships. Today, architects and engineers worldwide rely on Ambico for precision, performance, and reliability.
