Abstract

Multipurpose spaces in community and recreational facilities hold significant value, catering to a variety of uses and accommodating users of diverse age groups. This article discusses investigations conducted at nine municipally owned facilities including community centres, arenas, and a senior centre related to reportedly poor acoustic conditions in multipurpose spaces. The acoustical measurements of the as-found conditions, relevant criteria, and analysis are outlined. The sound isolation, acoustical treatment for interior reverberation control, and background noise from HVAC are discussed as the contributing factors for the subjective acoustic concerns.
