Course Description: CEU Events: Today’s Educational Facilities–Designing With Our Ears
In person (requires the presence of a live instructor, classroom, webinar, streamed event) - 1 HOUR
How do we go about designing educational environments to be healthier and better for learning outcomes?
This presentation explores the tremendous opportunity that architects, designers, and educators hold in their hands. We look at rethinking what an educational facility should be and how the physical environment can be designed to have a positive impact on learning. It is time to start designing with our ears. We examine spatial strategies, performance benchmarks, and architectural testing methods that allow designers and architects to evaluate designs against industry guidelines for sound performance. We discuss the primary function of a room and explore noise level thresholds that have serious long-term implications on learning and health.
