Abstract
The art building on Virginia Tech’s campus is an adaptive reuse project. Despite its current function, the transformation of the space has left it acoustically ill suited for class instruction. This research focuses on absorption of specific frequencies through the use of felt panels to reduce noise and increase speech intelligibility for class instruction. Microperforated panels are proposed as a solution due to their simple structures and predictable wide‐band absorption characteristics. Benefits will be quantified by measuring pink noise decay in the building pre‐ and postpanel installation.
