In this course, we consider the impacts that excess noise can have on learning environments and on those who occupy these noisy spaces, and how to design ceilings and walls to help create quieter spaces that are more conducive to thinking, learning, and discussion.
We also discuss how to achieve better air quality and sustainability in schools with ceiling specification, which helps earn LEED certification, as well as gracefully and stylishly integrating lighting, HVAC, and electronics into the ceiling design. Equally important is creating inspirational spaces that will engage not just the students, teachers, and administrators, but also the public and benefactors.
