The interior finishes in a space largely control the room's reverberation time . Hard materials, such as gypsum wallboard or sealed stone, tend to reflect sound, which increases the reverberation time . Adding acoustical absorption diminishes reverberation time . Acoustical absorption is created by soft materials, into which sound can enter and be captured rather than reflected . Acoustical absorption, as well as proper room shaping, also help to control any unwanted echoes . The following are measures recommended to help provide good speech intelligibility in select spaces in the facility .

I . INTRODUCTION

When designing a museum facility, careful acoustical consideration must be given to specialized spaces including, but not limited to, the auditorium, boardroom, and galleries . Three factors determine the acoustical effectiveness of the specialized spaces; speech intelligibility or room acoustics, speech privacy or sound isolation, and mechanical and electrical noise and vibration control .

This narrative addresses the room acoustics and sound isolation concerns of the project . All information contained below is based on floor plan backgrounds for the GMP Issue Set, dated July 29, 2005, the 100% Design Development Architectural Detail Book dated December 21, 2004, conversations during a teleconference on July 18, 2005, and issues addressed through various e-mails . Appendix A contains a cost estimate table, which lists approximate acoustic material costs . Lastly, catalog cuts of suggested acoustical treatment materials are contained in Appendix B .

ROOM ACOUSTICS

Room acoustics refers to the shaping and finishes of a space as they affect sound . Spaces such as the auditorium and boardroom must be designed for good speech intelligibility so that all parties in the space adequately understand what is being discussed and presented . Speech intelligibility is primarily controlled through the reverberation time of a space and through the reduction of undesirable reflections and echoes .

The standard metric for determining how "live" or "dead" a space acts is called the reverberation time . The longer the reverberation time, the longer sound persists before dying out, and the more difficult speech intelligibility becomes . Rooms with reverberation times less than 1 .1 seconds have an environment where the room response has a minor effect on the perceived sound . Rooms with reverberation times between 1 .2 and 1 .6 seconds have an acoustical environment where the room has a significant effect on the perceived sound, but it is not the dominant element . Rooms with reverberation times over 1 .6 seconds have an acoustical environment in which the reverberation of the room is the dominant acoustical element .

" A longer reverberation time . This is accomplished by increasing the room volume and by decreasing the amount of acoustically absorptive surfaces in the

Auditorium The auditorium's main focus will be speech, however it is also planned to have musical performances in the space . The acoustic design must therefore respect both uses of the auditorium .

The primary acoustic purpose of a room designed for speech is to present intelligible speech to the listeners . This requires a sufficient signal to noise ratio of useful acoustic energy. Room design to optimize speech intelligibility emphasizes the following :

" Direct sound, by limiting the distance between the speaker and the listener .

" Sound reflections that arrive at a listener's ear to provide early energy, within 50 milliseconds of the direct sound . These reflections result from surfaces that are not too far removed from the path between the speaker and the listener .

Minimizing reflections that provide late energy. These reflections typically occur from surfaces removed from the speaker and complex reflections that strike more than one surface of the room prior to reaching listeners . In rooms designed strictly for speech, these late reflections are often absorbed, which has the effect of decreasing the total reverberation time of the space . A typical auditorium designed strictly for speech would have a reverberation time between 0 .7 and 1 .0 seconds.

Low background noise levels, so the early energy is audible over the background noise . Normally this relates to the noise created by HVAC systems and from sources external to the auditorium .

The design of rooms for music is more complex. Although some of the above principles for speech still apply to create sufficient intimacy and definition to the music, other aspects must be present to create a room for music that optimizes the space .

Sufficient room volume to allow more complex reflections .

Sufficient late energy through reflections to allow listeners to hear the effects of the room in the music . The proper amount and timing of late energy can help create the acoustic quality of spaciousness and envelopment.

High or complex ceilings to decrease the strength of the reflection from this plane . Short ceiling reflections integrate with the direct sound, as described above . The resulting strength of this early energy hides the subtler, complex reflections that arrive later . These complex reflections are required to create the spatial effect desirable for listening to music .

As mentioned above, it is planned to use an acoustic plaster material for the treatment in the auditorium . There are two manufacturers that provide a plaster-like acoustical material . Catalog cuts of each material are attached in Appendix B.

room. A typical small auditorium designed strictly for music would have a reverberation time between 1 .2 and 1 .6 seconds.

More massive wall and ceiling surfaces to preserve low frequency energy in the room . This helps create the attribute of warmth .

It is difficult to bring out the more subtle aspects of music with seating capacities less than 650 seats. The planned maximum seating capacity of 144 seats is small for music venues, so expectations with regard to the musical aspects of the auditorium should be limited . However, even though the volume of the auditorium will not make the space optimum for music, it should be designed with both functions in mind . Therefore, it is recommended to design the auditorium with a reverberation time between 0.9 second and 1 .2 seconds to compromise between speech and music .

The auditorium envelope utilizes a trapezoidal shape with two curved interior architectural elements that are primarily located on the north and west walls . The auditorium floor is flat to accommodate several different types of events, such as lectures and banquets. The interior finishes of the auditorium used in the analysis are as follows :

Ceiling : Ceiling height at 16'-0" . The ceiling in the center of the room between the architectural elements will be finished with an acoustical plaster material, amounting to approximately 1,125 square feet of treatment . The section of ceiling starting at the operable partition and continuing 11' west of the partition will be gypsum board. The area between the architectural elements and the north, west, and south walls will be open to the structure .

Floor. The floor in the auditorium will be finished travertine . All seats were assumed to be non-upholstered .

Walls : Gypsum board envelope with a hard-surfaced operable partition on the east wall . The architectural elements on the north and west walls will be finished with an acoustical plaster, amounting to approximately 80 square feet and 268 square feet of material on the north and west walls, respectively .

The auditorium finishes listed above produce an average reverberation time of 0.9 seconds for middle-range frequencies (such as those frequencies for speech) . This reverberation time is within the target to provide a compromise between speech and music .


BASWAphon Acoustic Plaster. BASWAphon is an acoustic plaster produced by RPG, Inc, http://www.rp,ginc.com . It is a system that first consists of absorptive panels, which are glued to the wall or ceiling substrate . The seams in the panels are filled and sanded, and when dry, a base coat is applied . After the base coat dries and is sanded smooth, a top coat is applied that can be troweled or sprayed to provide a seamless, smooth or rough finish . It comes standard in white, however, it can be color matched . BASWAphon has a material cost of about $20 .00 per square foot . If BASWAphon is used in the auditorium, it should be 1 .57" thick .

Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 20: Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 20 is a gypsum-based acoustic spray produced by Pyrok, http ://www.pyrokinc . com . It is the smoothest Pyrok acoustical finish available; however, it still has more texture than a sheet of gypsum board and is not completely smooth . Pyrok comes in several standard colors and can be integrally colored to any color except dark blue . Pyrok can also be painted to a limit with a latex paint to match a needed color . Pyrok has a material cost of about $9 .00 per square foot . If Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 20 is used in the auditorium, it should be 1" thick .

Boardroom The boardroom will be used for meetings as well as videoconferencing . Spaces used for videoconferencing benefit greatly from a reverberation time that is lower than 0 .7 seconds so that optimum speech intelligibility is achieved through the equipment . Measures that are recommended to achieve this goal are as follows :

The ceiling in the boardroom should be absorptive . During the November 11 meeting, it was discussed to treat the boardroom ceiling with an acoustic plaster material, amounting to approximately 875 square feet of absorption . Either BASWAphon or Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 20 may be used . If BASWAphon is used, it should be 1 .57" thick ; if Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 20 is used, is should be 1" thick .

Keep the floor carpeted as currently planned .

" The west and east walls should be designed so that they are not parallel from each other. This should help prevent any flutter echo that may occur in the room . The north and south walls are already nonparallel .

Main Lobby As a note, the main lobby recommendations listed below are restated from our "Main Lobby Acoustics With Perforated Zinc Panels" transmission dated March 10, 2005. The main lobby will be used for various functions, such as banquets and overflow seating for large lectures . Therefore, the acoustic design of the main lobby must try and provide a space with good speech intelligibility . Ideally, the reverberation time would be designed between 1 .5 and 1 .7 seconds, similar to a large multipurpose auditorium .


Untreated Conditions For calculation purposes, the main lobby was divided into two separate sections ; a low ceiling part and a high ceiling part . The interior finishes of each main lobby section used in the analysis are as follows :

-High Ceiling Section-

Ceiling: Ceiling height in this area is variable ranging from about 53' to about 69'. The ceiling in this section will be all translucent glass .

Floor. The floor in the main lobby will be finished travertine . All seats were assumed to be non-upholstered .

Walls: The walls in the high ceiling section of the main lobby will be a combination of gypsum board, unsealed hokey stone, zinc, and glass .

-Low Ceiling Section-

Ceiling : Ceiling height at 17" . The ceiling in this section will be a combination of gypsum board and zinc .

" Floor. Same as the high ceiling section .

Walls : The walls in the low ceiling section of the main lobby will be a combination of gypsum board, unsealed hokey stone, zinc, glass and a hard surfaced operable partition .

The current finishes in the high ceiling section of the main lobby produce a very long reverberation time in the space that will not be conducive for lectures or banquets. The calculated reverberation time for this section is an average of 4 .9 seconds for middle range frequencies . Unfortunately, the long reverberation time hampers speech intelligibility and could create a high energy level in the room when several people are speaking at once.

The main lobby low ceiling section finishes listed above produce an average reverberation time of 1 .7 seconds for middle range frequencies . This reverberation time is within the target range and should provide acceptable speech intelligibility as long as the audio system in this section is coordinated with the acoustic environment to have good sound coverage in the seating area .

Recommendations Installing sound absorption in the high ceiling section of the main lobby will reduce reverberation time and the energy level in the space . During a telephone conversation on March 10, 2005, it was stated that it may be possible to perforate the zinc panels in the main lobby . The perforated zinc panels would be located on the west wall of the lobby, over the auditorium opening . Therefore, two acoustic treatment schemes were investigated for the main lobby including perforated zinc .

Art Museum of Western Virginia Division 09 GMP Issue 8 Randall Stout Architects, Inc . Roanoke, VA July 29, 2005 - RSA Project # 0 104

Acoustic Treatment Scheme 1 has 1,290 square feet of perforated zinc on the west wall of the main lobby and 1,260 square feet of acoustic plaster on the east wall . In this scheme, the ceiling is left untreated .

To be acoustically effective, the zinc should have a minimum percentage open area of 23% . This percentage can be achieved by 3/32" holes on 3/16" staggered centers, for example . A greater percentage open area would also be acceptable . The perforated zinc should be installed with 2" thick fiberglass behind the panel . The fiberglass can be covered with a grey-colored acoustically transparent fabric to hide it from view, such as speaker grille cloth, Guilford of Maine fabric, or SoundSuede fabric . Another option for hiding the fiberglass behind the panel would be to use black-colored fiberglass, such as the SelectSound Black Acoustic Blanket by Owens Corning, http://www.owenscorning .com . No additional fabric would be needed with the black fiberglass .

The acoustic plaster material can be any material stated above, including 1 .57" BASWAphon acoustic plaster, or Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 20 at 1 .25" thick . Another product that would be acceptable on the main lobby walls would be Eurospan by Wall Technology, http ://www.walltechnology.com. The Eurospan Wide Span Acoustical Treatment System is a stretch fabric system that consists of a gypsum board-look fabric stretched over a 1" thick acoustical core . Eurospan costs about $16.00 per square foot and has an NRC value of 0.80 .

The calculated reverberation time for the main lobby with Acoustic Treatment Scheme 1 is an average of 2.2 seconds for middle range frequencies and is slightly above the target range for the space . Therefore, if Acoustic Treatment Scheme 1 is used, it is recommended to carefully coordinate the audio system in this area with the acoustic environment to provide good sound coverage in the seating area .

Acoustic Treatment Scheme 2 uses the same acoustic materials on the walls, and places an additional 2,450 square feet of translucent acoustic material on the ceiling . Two translucent materials were reviewed as ceiling treatment options . These materials are as follows :

Fabrasorb 1: Fabrasorb I is a translucent composite fabric based upon fiberglass and Teflon and is produced by Chemfab, http ://www.chemfab .com . It has a light transmission of 23% and has an NRC value of 0 .70 . Fabrasorb I costs approximately $27 .00 per square foot .

" NewAcoustic : NewAcoustic is a microperforated stretch PVC system that is produced by Newmat, http ://www.newmatusa .com . The membrane is typically stretched over an acoustical core ; however it will provide an NRC of 0 .50 installed 4' from a hard surface without an acoustical core . NewAcoustic is available in over 200 colors and finishes, including translucent . The T1 Naturel finish of NewAcoustic has a light transmission of 92% . NewAcoustic costs approximately $17 .00 per square foot .

Acoustic Sanitary Panels : San Pan Acoustical Panels are cleanable acoustic panels manufactured by MBI Products, http :/lwww.mbiproducts.com. They are constructed of high density fiberglass encapsulated in sanitary PVF plastic film . San Pan Panels are available in 20 different colors and can be hung in a grid or suspended from the ceiling as clouds or baffles . If San Pan Acoustical Panels are used, it is recommended to purchase panels with a minimum NRC of 0 .80 .

The calculated reverberation time for the main lobby with Acoustic Treatment Scheme 2 is an average of 1 .7 seconds for middle range frequencies and meets the high end of the target range. If Acoustic Treatment Scheme 2 is used, the audio system should still be carefully coordinated to provide good sound coverage in the seating area.

Cafe As stated in a teleconference on July 18, 2005, the cafe will be used as a meeting area with a bar that will be active during the evening for event gatherings as well as for lunch service during the day . Therefore, it is very likely that several people will be in the cafe at one time, thus possibly creating a lively environment. The interior finishes of the cafe used in the analysis are as follows:

" Ceiling : The back of house area is shown as fiberglass reinforced plastic at 10' high . Over the bars and down the corridor, there is approximately 380 square feet of acoustic plaster ranging between 8 .5' and 14' high . Adjacent to the acoustic plaster is a band of metal . The remaining ceiling in the cafe is glass varying in height up to 19' .

Floor. The floor in the cafe is a hard surface for maintenance . All seats were assumed to be non-upholstered .

" Walls : The walls in the cafe back of house were assumed to be gypsum board . The remaining walls in the cafe are glass.

The calculated mid-frequency reverberation time with the cafe finishes listed above is an average of 1 .4 seconds . This reverberation time may produce a high energy level in the cafe, especially when several people are speaking at once.

To reduce the reverberation time in the cafe, it is suggested to add absorption ; however, the only potential surface for treatment would be the ceiling plane . One area that could have an absorptive ceiling would be the back of house space . The fiberglass reinforced plastic ceiling could be replaced with a cleanable acoustic ceiling . Two acoustic material options that are cleanable are as follows :

Clean Room Type Acoustic Tile: One option for a cleanable acoustic ceiling would be a clean room type acoustic the with an NRC of 0.55 or higher, such as Clean Room Mylar the by Armstrong, http://www.armstrong .com. The disadvantage of using a cleanable acoustic the is that is comes in very few colors and is usually limited to white.

Art Museum of Western Virginia Division 09 GMP Issue 10 Randall Stout Architects, Inc . Roanoke, VA July 2.9, 2005 - RSA Project # 0104

San Pan Panels costs approximately $4 .25 per square foot .

The calculated mid-frequency overall reverberation time in the cafe is reduced to an average of 1 .0-1 .1 seconds when acoustic panels are added to the back of house area .

Even though the overall reverberation time of the cafe is around 1 .0 second with treatment in the back of house area, it still may be a bit loud under the glass ceiling . The reverberation time under the glass ceiling can be reduced by installing one of the translucent acoustic materials mentioned for the lobby, Fabrasorb or NewAcoustic . Another possible material would be acoustic banners, such as MBI Lapendaries; however banners may not be desirable from an aesthetic standpoint .

Museum Store The finishes in the museum store are currently planned to be all hard-surface materials . Even though the hard surfaces have the potential to create a space that is very active, there is not a great concern about placing absorption in the space . People in the store will be in the space for a relatively short period of time and the merchandise within the store will help provide some absorption .

E&O Studio and Birthday Room A desire was expressed to provide some sort of colorful, playful absorptive shapes in the ceiling space of the E&O Studio and the Birthday Room . One option of absorptive shapes is premanufactured cylinders . Poal by Peer, http://www.poal .net, can be purchased in cylinders of varying colors. Proudfoot also makes resonator sound absorbers, which are colorful absorptive cylinders, http://www.noisemaster.com. Another option would be to form custom shapes from perforated metal or metal mesh and place insulation inside the form .

If premanufactured cylinders or custom shapes are not desirable, it is suggested to simply place black absorption on the structure and then hang non-absorptive forms from the ceiling as desired . The black acoustic absorption could be simply a faced black acoustic fiberglass, equivalent to the SelectSound Black Acoustic Blanket or it could be black Pyrok acoustic spray .

Administrative Open Office Space In the administrative open office area, there will be several people working and speaking on the phone. Because there is the possibility that there will be many people holding conversations simultaneously, the energy level in the area could be high . The goal of an acoustic design in an open office area is to bring the energy level down to where conversations between cubicles will not be disruptive. Three factors influence open office acoustics : the partitions, the ceiling, and the background noise level .

Dividing Partitions - Partitions reduce the sound traveling from one cubicle to a receiver in a neighboring cubicle by forcing the sound to travel either up and over the dividing partition, or to reflect off nearby surfaces, such as the ceiling . It

Background Noise Levels -The background noise level of the open office space will include noise from the HVAC system, which will provide some masking of unwanted sound . If possible, the diffusers in this area should be sized to produce an NC 35 rating to help with the masking noise .




is suggested to make the partitions high enough to interrupt the line of sight between the stations while people are seated . A partition height of 68" is a good starting point that should block the line of sight of all people while seated and most people while standing, obviously depending on the height of the person . The partition should have a Sound Transmission Class rating greater than 20. It would also be beneficial if the dividing partitions were absorptive . The Noise Reduction Coefficient of the partitions should be greater than 0.8 .

It is important to note that even with the higher partition, normal speech between directly adjacent cubicles will be barely audible, but not disruptive. However if someone is speaking in a raised voice, it will be clearly audible in the adjacent area .

Ceiling - The ceiling in an open office is a major potential area for sound reflections . Reflections from the ceiling carry source voice levels to workstations that are not adjacent to the source . The ceiling surface sets the sphere of influence that a source voice level has on the entire open office area .

To get the full benefit of the partitions between workstations, the ceiling over the open office area is typically absorptive . In this project, the ceiling over the open office area is two vaulted gypsum board ceilings that also slope down to the north . However even though the ceiling is high and sloped, the hard surface may still increase the sphere of influence a source voice level has in the open office space and could decrease acoustic privacy . The losses achieved by distance alone will not be enough to bring source voice levels below background noise levels .

If it is desired, the gypsum board ceiling over the open office space may be treated using acoustic spray or a gypsum board look material . If it is not desired to treat the ceiling in this space at this time, ceiling absorption or a noise masking system may be added later if privacy between cubicles serves to be an issue .

As a note, currently the staff is in an environment that has higher partitions and a low, absorptive ceiling . The new workspace environment will be very different from what they are used to . It may be a good idea to visit an open office space with a high or hard ceiling to get a feel for the environment before deciding on additional treatment .

Future Theater The future theater is adjacent to the auditorium on the ground level and the art galleries on the second level . Sources of noise inside the future theater could include amplified speech, music, or film . During a conversation on July 13, 2005, the wall between the auditorium and the future theater was coordinated to be


III . SOUND ISOLATION

In order to describe the acoustical privacy provided between two spaces, we must define subjective criteria to better explain anticipated results . We use the following audibility scale to describe how intruding sounds are heard :

ClearlyAudible - Intruding noise is expected to be audible over the room background noise level and mostly intelligible . The noise is impossible to ignore in the receiving room, and is the dominant part of the acoustical environment. Even if other activities are occurring in the receiving room, the intruding noise in the adjacent room is ever present and significantly interferes with the activity .

Easily Audible - Intruding noise is difficult to ignore in the receiving room . Although most speech sounds are unintelligible, occasional words can be identified particularly if the receiving room is quiet . Intruding noise is still audible even if there is conversation or meetings in the receiving room . Although it is possible to ignore the intruding noise, it requires some effort and over a long period of time can become annoying .

Barely Audible - Intruding noise is barely audible and can only be heard if the listener is concentrating on the noise rather than on the task at in the receiving room. If there is activity in the receiving room, the intruding noise from the source room seems to disappear and does not intrude upon the attention of the people in the receiving room .

Inaudible - Intruding noise is completely inaudible no matter the noise level in the receiving room.

The level of privacy is determined by three factors : the source levels inside the room, the partition type between spaces, and the background noise in the originating and receiving rooms. When calculating the amount of sound that propagates through a wall at various frequencies, transmission loss (TL) data is used . TL data has been measured in laboratories for most common wall constructions . In comparing wall acoustical performance, a one-number rating called sound transmission class (STC) is used . STC ratings are calculated from the TL data . A higher STC value means that less sound is transmitted through the wall .

Sound isolation is required around several spaces in the museum to either prevent interference from activities in adjacent spaces or to maintain a desired level of privacy . The following are comments and measures suggested to help provide sound isolation in select areas in the museum.

Art Museum of Western Virginia Division 09 GMP Issue 13 Randall Stout Architects, Inc, Roanoke, VA July 29, 2005 - RSA Project # 0104

constructed of two separate rows of 3-5/8" metal studs separated by a minimum 1" air gap with two layers 5/8" gypsum board on each side of the wall and batt insulation in the cavity . All joints between the layers of wallboard should be staggered and all joints between the wall and the structure should be sealed airtight . This wall is a Type 007C wall with one less layer gypsum board on each side . It has an STC rating of 64.

The wall between the future theater and the gallery spaces on the second level should also be constructed of the STC 64 wall .

The wall between the future theater and non-noise sensitive areas, such as the corridor, does not need to have the same level of sound isolation . Those walls can be constructed of a minimum two layers 5/8" gypsum board on each side of one row of 3-5/8" metal studs with batt insulation in the cavity . This wall is a Type 004 partition and has an STC rating of 56 .

Because of the height of the theater walls, cross bracing may be needed between the studs . The cross bracing will create a direct connection between the studs and therefore, will reduce the STC rating of the wall . Therefore to maintain the STC rating of the walls around the future theater, it is suggested to use neoprene acoustical sway braces rather than cross bracing . The sway braces can be equivalent to a Model DNSB by Mason Industries, http://www.mason-ind .com , or a Model PSB by Kinetics Noise Control, http ://www.kineticsnoise.com . Catalog cuts of the sway braces are included in Appendix B.

Auditorium The auditorium is adjacent to the future theater on the west, sales area to the south, the main lobby to the east, and restrooms to the north . There is an operable partition in the wall between the auditorium and the main lobby .

Operable Partition According to the furniture layouts, there could be instances when the auditorium and main lobby spaces will be serving separate functions . Therefore, sound isolation through this partition is important . The construction of the wall between the two spaces is dominated by an operable partition . Because of the gaps inherent in an operable partition system, a high amount of sound isolation through a single operable partition is a challenge . The greatest STC level that can be achieved with a single operable partition is STC 54. For amplified voice source levels, background noise levels of NC 30 in the auditorium, and an STC 54 operable partition, intruding noise from the main lobby in the auditorium is expected to be barely to easily audible and depending on the speaker, partially intelligible .

Wall between Auditorium and Main Lobby The wall between the auditorium and the main lobby should equal the STC rating of the operable partition . A partition with two layers of material on each side of the studs and batt insulation in the cavity should be used with the STC 54 partition . This can either be a Type 004 partition or a Type 003 partition with an extra layer of


3/4" plywood behind the one layer of 5/8" gypsum board . All joints between the layers of gypsum board or plywood should be staggered and all joints between the wall and the structure should be sealed airtight

Wall between Auditorium and Restrooms It is recommended to make the wall between the auditorium and restrooms a Type 004 partition . This should make the source level resulting from bathroom fixture and plumbing noise, barely audible in the auditorium . It is strongly recommended to keep the restroom configuration as shown in the current drawings, with the plumbing off the auditorium wall .

Boardroom The boardroom is adjacent to the catering pantry on the west and the reception area to the south . Potentially loud voice levels from the reception area will travel through the wall and doors and radiate in the boardroom . A Type 004 partition around the boardroom should be acceptable to make the voice levels from the reception area barely audible in the boardroom .

Restrooms Restrooms are currently planned to have Type 002 partitions . This will be acceptable except for the following adjacencies :

Between Boys 104.3 and E&O Studio 104. The wall should be changed to a Type 004 partition .

Between the restrooms and Contemporary Art Gallery 221 . Because this wall is a plumbing wall, it is suggested to construct the partition as a double wall with two separate rows of 3-5/8" studs separated by a 1" air gap with two layers of 5/8" gypsum board on each side of the studs and batt insulation in the cavities . The pipework running in this wall should not be in direct contact with any part of the partition, including the studs .

Elevator Shaft Walls Elevator shafts are currently planned to have Type 006 partitions. This will be acceptable except for the following adjacencies :

Between Elevator E-01, E-02 (public elevators) and the auditorium, Contemporary Art Galleries 221 . To effectively reduce the elevator shaft noise, it is suggested to add a furring wall on the auditorium and gallery side of the shaft wall . It is recommended to construct the furring wall similar to Partition Type 001A, but have two layers of 5/8" gypsum board rather than one. One layer of gypsum board and one layer of plywood may also be used .

" Between Elevator E-03 and E&O Studio 104, American Art A 211 . If the elevator will be in use while people are viewing in the galleries, it is suggested to add a furring wall to the gallery side of the shaft wall as described above .

Sealed doors consist of adding additional seals to a typical door. To completely seal a single door, a top seal, jamb and hinge seal, bottom seal, and threshold will be required . To completely seal a set of double doors, the same perimeter seals are used in conjunction with a removable mullion between the doors. Recommended door seals are listed in the table below . Catalog cuts of the doors seals are included in Appendix B.

Galleries It is recommended to construct the wails between galleries out of a partition type with two layers of material on each side of the studs . This could be a Type 004 partition, a Type 003 partition with an extra layer of 3/4" plywood behind the one layer of 5/8" gypsum board, or a Type 002 partition with an extra layer of 3/4" plywood behind each layer of 5/8" gypsum board. These walls include the following adjacencies :

" Between E&O Studio 104 and Catering Kitchen 111

" Between E&O Studio 104 and Birthday Room 104.1

" Between CAVE 212 and American Art B 211

" Between Lieber Handbag Collection 215 and Regional Decorative Arts 216

Between Modernism 217 and Electrical 218

" Between CAVE 212 and Central Hall 210

" Between CAVE 212 and Computer Room 212 .1 . As a note, the door between the CAVE and the computer room will need a full set of perimeter seals as described below. If the computer room will contain its own cooling equipment, this wall and door type will need to be revisited .

The gallery walls that contain doors or openings can be constructed of a Type 002 Partition .

Doors Since there are typically gaps between the door and the frame, the doors in the walls of noise sensitive rooms represent the acoustic weak link in the system . Noise will take the path of least resistance and travel through the gaps around the door. To maintain the transmission loss of the wall and door systems, sealed doors are recommended for the auditorium doors, the boardroom doors, the CAVE doors, mechanical room doors, elevator equipment room doors, and electrical room doors .

Bottom 434ARL Mortised into bottom of door . Pemko 2005 threshold is recommended for use with the automatic door bottom . The 2005 has the advantage of a second bottom seal . A substitution of a solid, more quality material would be a compromise, but likely satisfactory .

sufficient .

To quiet noisy or reverberant spaces, architects have had to rely on perf metals, stretch-fabrics and other approaches to conceal fiberglass absorptive panels . Many pro jects, however, require a smooth plastered or painted finish, that also sat-isfies the acoustical requirements of the space. RPG is proud to introduce a mapr milestone in aesthetic acoustics . Baswa°phon is a field-applied system that provides exceptional absorption, a strikingly beautiful appearance, a "plaster-like" seamless finish, with internal coloring and clean-ing possibilities . BASWA°phon can be applied to flat, inclined, curved, vaulted or domed surfaces .

When used as a liner in SHEERFILL Architectural Membrane systems, FABRASORB significantly reduces interior noise levels . Virtually invisible to the untrained eye, FABRASORB appears as an integral part of the roof itself. Ideal for sorts complexes and industrial facilities, FABRASORB allows diffuse natural daylight in, white minimizing acoustical disturbance .

Improved climate control

in addition to serving as a sound attenuator, FABRAS(JRB also improves the thermal characteristics of fabric roof systems . By providing an extra layer of insulation, FABRASORB helps keep inside temperatures cool and comfortable, even under the sweltering heat of direct sunlight.

Superior fire resistance

FABRA50RB is a translucent, non-burning, porous composite based upon fiberglass and Teflon . It has a Class A fire rating, and FABRASORB's overall performance in regard to permanent building codes, including fire codes, is consistent with that of SHEERFILL .

For traditional buildings, too

FABRASORB is not limited for use in tensile membrane roofs and structures. It functions equally well as a new or retrofit sound attentaafor in structures made of glass, brick or any other traditional building material .

Making a quiet statement

When erected in imaginative ways, a FABRASORB canopy becomes a functional and attractive focal point in large hails or atriums .. A variety of panel shapes can be combined info almost endless geometric configurations .

UA/USES, APPLICATIONS - OP/OVERALL PRODUCT IN PLACE

MBI Lapendary° Panels and Cloud-Lite" Acoustical Baffles are designed to solve acoustical problems in arenas, gymnasiums, swimming pools, theaters, restaurants, offices, corridors, shopping malls, and industrial buildings for QSHA compliance . Sound traveling at 730 miles per hour

will reflect and ricochet off hard surfaces producing excessive reverberation (echo) . Speech and music become unintelligible and garbled . MBI Lapendary Panels or Cloud-Lite Baffles reduce reverberation time in harsh acoustical environments from a discon-certing 4 to 9 seconds to a pleasant 1/2 to 2 seconds. Sound intensity levels are reduced simultaneously by 3 to 12 decibels . MBI Lapendary Panels are large,

unique acoustical banners designed to hang in a horizontal, vertical, or cat-enary fashion . Lapendary Panels allow free flow of air and integrate exception-ally well with existing sprinklers, lighting, and HVAC systems, MBI Lapendary Panels allow for

creative architectural design in new or existing construction . MBI acoustical banners can give the illusion of various ceiling heights without the need fir expensive conventional ceilings.

1. Sway braces prevent buckling or overturning of tail or extremely long walls.

2. Buckling forces are extremely small when braces are seasonably spaced both horizontally and vertically as the brace spacing maintains a very low 1/r, (column) ratio.

3. Our, general recommendation is spacing on four foot centers both hori-zontally and vertically.

4. The maximum axial restraint rating is approximately 33% of the maxi-mum assigned wall weight and extremely conservative.

5. Vertical resistance information is provided for checking embedment requirements in walls and sheer or pullout forces on both ends of the sway braces . Sway braces are not to be used for vertical supports.

6. Response frequency is a function of the attached mass and the dyna-mic stiffness in the direction of vibration . The 10 Hz response is nor-mally lower and more desirable than whet is usually specified . Heavier weight assignments than the specified minimum will lower the response frequency by the square root of the ratio of the minimum weight to the assigned value multiplied by 10 Hz . Lighter loads will increase the frequency by the same proportion . ;
