Breadth: Acoustical

The Lewis Katz Building has various zones used for multiple purpose. There are classrooms, court room, auditorium, offices, conference rooms and library stacks. The different purposes zones require different acoustical design to achieve the desire acoustical performance. The acoustical performance of the different rooms in the Lewis Katz Building might be influenced by the change of the mechanical systems. Especially the classrooms next to or above the mechanical room. The dedicated heating system might influence their acoustical performance. Research and simulations for major zones are required to achieve the desire acoustic properties.
