Abstract

In the past 10 years the use of acoustic design and products in educational environments, from elementary schools to universities, has grown exponentially. While acoustics in general has been more widely embraced to solve problems related to modern design technologies, the use of more sophisticated designs and materials has been widely accepted as an alternative to the simple absorptive materials of the past. Some secondary school designs challenge the finest college and university campuses for both creative and effective acoustic spaces. Likewise, some colleges and universities challenge the finest commercial venues, studios and rehearsal spaces in both function and design. Examples will be shown in the presentation including a new convertible acoustic system at Tabor College designed to make the hall usable for both classical performance and sound reinforced, high volume contemporary performances as well. Discussions as to the principals behind the use of acoustics in these environments will be offered.
