Education & Offices — Speech Clarity and Acoustic Privacy
Design, tune, and verify classrooms, lecture halls, meeting rooms, and open offices for intelligibility and focus.
Targets (typical ranges)
| Space | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Classrooms (primary) | RT60 ≈ 0.5–0.6 s; background 30–35 dB(A) | STI ≥ 0.6 desirable |
| Lecture halls | RT60 ≈ 0.7–1.0 s | Speech & AV reinforcement |
| Meeting rooms | Privacy: good; background 35–40 dB(A) | Door seals, partitions, ceilings |
| Open offices | Background ≈ 40–45 dB(A) | Masking optional; zoning |

- Privacy strategies: partitions/doors, flanking control
- Verification: RT, STI/STIPA, background noise, reports
Workflow
- Brief & baseline review
- Concept & detail design with specs
- Site QA & commissioning tests
FAQs
Can we retrofit noisy classrooms?
Yes—lightweight ceiling/ wall finishes and door upgrades achieve fast, cost-effective wins.
Do you design for AV systems?
We coordinate with AV teams to meet intelligibility targets and reduce feedback risks.
