AREAS International France, Philadelphia, San Francisco

AREAS International and Acoustic Design International LLC deliver integrated acoustics and critical-systems performance, AV/VC and IT systems integration; noise, vibration, and micro-vibration control; electro-acoustic and wearable audio product development; Ethernet and fiber Gbit network engineering; and hands-on technical production and construction management.

We specialize in complex, technology-driven facilities and products—corporate workplaces, education, healthcare and medical research, data centers, R&D environments, industrial plants, and semiconductor fabs. Our product work spans micro-electronics and embedded systems, pro-audio circuitry, hearing-assistance components, and cloud-based noise and vibration monitoring platforms. Our project experience includes ISO-class cleanrooms and subfab support infrastructure, where success depends on tightly coordinated control of particulates, thermal and humidity stability, acoustics, noise, and micro-vibration. We support owners, architects, engineers, and specialized contractors from early planning through design development, construction administration, commissioning, and post-occupancy performance verification.
