TOPIC: |
DESCRIPTION: Last summer, ANSI approved standard S12.60-2002, which is titled Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools. This standard sets new expectations for classrooms and requires low background noise levels, noise isolation from sources outside the classrooms, and low reverberation times. These criteria will impact the selection and design of mechanical systems, building constructions, and classroom finishes.This meeting will begin with a discussion of the specific criteria of the standard from two acousticians who have studied it. Two local architects who have applied these types of performance goals on their projects will present a discussion of the impacts resulting from these criteria. A question and discussion period will follow the panel presentations. This meeting is open to anyone interested in this topic; ASA, BSA members, and BAC Students and Teachers are encouraged to attend. For more information on this topic please see the supplemental information on the following page: PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Green Line (B, C or D) to Hynes PARKING: Garages on Newbury Street or Dalton St.,
