EDUCATION BUILDING
EDB8620 RENOVATIONS
ACOUSTICS RECOMMENDATIONS R1 FEBRUARY 15th, 2013
ACOUSTIC ABSORPTION
WALLS
The Faculty of Education has raised concerns regarding both the durability and the “pin
stripe” surface pattern of the previously proposed Acoustic Wall Panel (AWP). Instead of
the AWP the Faculty of Education would like to revisit cladding portions of the walls with
Forbo Bulletin Board material as it is a self-healing tackable surface and provides moderate
acoustic absorption.
FLOOR/CARPET
New carpet tile throughout the Interactive Space will provide some additional acoustic
absorption. The carpet tile will be particularly good at reducing the volume of localized
noise such as carts and chairs sliding across the æoor and footsteps of people walking
through the space.
CEILINGS
To give EDB8620 a tall, lofty character solid suspended ceilings are limited to the perimeter
of the space, leaving large portions of the Interactive Space and the Classrooms as tall as
possible.

In the Classrooms and the Interactive Space the primary acoustic absorption is provided
by an area of Acoustic Ceiling Grilles.
The Acoustic Ceiling Grilles provide a relatively high NRC rating of approximately 0.80
and can be mounted close to the underside of the concrete slab which will help retain the
‘tallness’ of the space.
In contrast to the existing rough sawn cedar plywood and the ‘fuzzy’ walls the linear grilles
will provide a sophisticated and functional ånish.

REDUCED REVERBERATION TIME
While there will be a signiåcant improvement in the overall acoustics relative to the existing
EDB8620, it will not be possible to achieve the recommended reverberation times for
educational spaces as outlined in ANSI/ASA S12.60-2010.
