Abstract
A recital hall for an educational facility requires a close appraisal of anticipated teaching, rehearsal, and performance use. In most cases, a modified set of acoustic criteria is required for these spaces in contrast to those associated with the design of professional recital halls such as Weill Hall, Town Hall, or the 92nd Street YMHA. This paper discusses the special requirements of recital halls in educational facilities, recognizes the work of Rein Pirn in this area, and develops a revised scale for volume‐to‐seating area ratios for these rooms. Qualitative subjective judgments related to the ratio of direct‐to‐reverberant energy are reviewed and measurements taken in some representative recital halls are analyzed.
