According to architectural designers, although they are aware of the sound environment when designing spaces, in many cases visual (design) and cost (cost-effectiveness, etc.) were the predominant factors. In many cases, the visual (design) and cost aspects (cost-effectiveness, etc.) were dominant. The tacit rule for evaluating the sound…

Direct linkEitland, Erika; Allen, Joseph – State Education Standard, 2019
Improving the school building may well be the most overlooked means of improving student health, safety, and academic performance. Yet in conversations about factors that lead students to academic success, only rarely does the role of the physical environment come to the fore. By downplaying the importance of the building, policymakers and parents…

1967
THE NATION'S SCHOOLS SCHOOL OF THE MONTH IS A BUILDING DESIGNED WITH AN OPEN INTERIOR. THERE ARE NO SEPARATE CLASSROOMS. THE MAIN SPACE IS DIVIDED INTO THREE LEARNING AREAS, PRACTICAL ARTS, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND COMMONS. FLEXIBLE PARTITIONS AND MOBILE CHALKBOARDS ACT AS VISUAL BARRIERS TO LIMIT DISTRACTIONS WHILE CARPETING AND ACOUSTIC BAFFLES…

Baker, Lindsay – National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities, 2012
Public education is one of the central tasks of a democratic society, and the buildings that house this important task not only shape the way one teaches, but provide icons and symbols for the values people hold common as a society. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this context has placed school buildings squarely in a position of debate and innovation…

Lead Industries Association, New York, NY. – 1965
Techniques for improving sound barriers through the use of lead sheeting are described. To achieve an ideal sound barrier a material should consist of the following properties--(1) high density, (2) freedom from stiffness, (3) good damping capacity, and (4) integrity as a non-permeable membrane. Lead combines these desired properties to a greater…
