Acoustic Design for Education

Good acoustic design is required for environments where communication is critical for teaching and learning activities. Various types of spaces have different acoustic design requirements, including classrooms, music departments, performance spaces, theatres, multi-purpose halls and sports halls. Schools have regulatory acoustic performance requirements; further education facilities and university departments also require specialist acoustic design.
