Introduction
Empirical Study of the mental effects of ceiling
height at Univ. of Minnesota
Conducted tests on human information processing
and cognitive skills
Result:
Higher Ceiling
Height
Higher ceiling height increases cognitive
skill strength

Added SF
Redesign
1804 SF
Raise Ceiling height of auditorium by 4 feet
1.72 % of Total Exterior SF
Causes higher thermal load with more exterior
wall area
Approximately 1.72% added
to energy bill every year
More load from brick on CMU wall resting on strip
foundation
