Presentation: Acoustical design for today’s buildings

Presented by:  Brian Etcher CTR with Armstrong Ceiling
In-Person or Zoom – Thursday, November 9, 2023

Have you heard a great building lately? How someone experiences a building relies on the experience of all senses including sense of hearing.  As soon as someone or something makes a sound, the acoustic design becomes evident.  Poor architectural acoustics can negatively affect building occupants’ concentration, comprehension, confidentiality, healing and/or learning. By contrast, good sound qualities can add drama, vibrancy, and energy, enhancing the occupant experience.  Join us to explore the many options available today that help architects design for acoustics without compromising their design vision.
