Acoustement at LAX/Metro Transit Center Station
The new LAX/Metro Transit Center Station officially opened on June 6th, marking a major milestone in LA’s expanding transit network. Designed by Grimshaw, Gruen Associates, and Arup, this landmark intermodal hub connects the upcoming Automated People Mover (APM), Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility (CONRAC), and the broader MTA light rail and bus system.
Purpose-built for fluid passenger movement, the station features sweeping canopies, daylight-filled concourses, and intuitive wayfinding across transit modes. We’re proud that Acoustement Spray-Applied Acoustical Plaster was chosen to meet the project’s high acoustic performance and design demands.
Acoustement was installed to the underside of roofing decks throughout the station to:
- Absorb ambient sound, reducing noise in high-traffic transit zones
- Enhance speech intelligibility for clear public address announcements
- Withstand partial exposure to the elements with a non-combustible, washable, long-lasting finish
- Conform to complex and curved geometries in the station’s dramatic canopies
- Elevate acoustic comfort and improve the passenger experience
With projected ridership of over 5,000 daily boardings by 2035, the LAX/Metro Transit Center is built for the future. So is Acoustement—engineered for performance in transit stations, civic buildings, environmental noise control, and other demanding applications.
