Abstract

Virginia Tech students undertook a study and participated in a design competition to provide the campus physical plant building with a wall that allows for natural light and views while maintaining a suitable aural barrier. The wall, which replaces a large garage door, will be constructed as part of an effort to renovate a wood/metal shop into an office. It must provide for adequate transmission loss to account for the noise generated by adjacent utility trucks, shop activities and an ad hoc basketball court. Unable to obtain published data for glass vestibules, students measured the transmission loss across another campus building’s glass entry vestibule. Currently there are plans for the winning students design entry to be constructed as part of the renovation.
