Acoustics Considerations in Schools and Restaurants
Date: Tuesday, November 9, 2021
Time: 8:00 – 9:00 AM
Presenters: Ed Crouchley, President, Acoustical Systems and Phil Hooser, Project Manager, Acoustical Systems
Presented via ZOOM conference
Fees: No Charge for AIA members; $10 for Non-AIA
This presentation will discuss acoustical design strategies common to schools, restaurants, and other indoor spaces. These applications include several common acoustic design metrics that apply to new construction projects as well as renovation projects. Sound isolation between adjacent spaces is a critical concern. In schools, sound isolation between classrooms, gymnasium, band rooms, etc. is critical to result in a proper teaching/learning environment. Restaurants can share walls or ceiling/floor partitions with residential units in multi-tenant buildings, making sound isolation critical. Interior acoustics within a space (reverberation and ambient noise) is critical to a proper teaching/learning environment in schools and critical to the client experience in restaurants.
The Zoom conference will open at 7:45 AM . Registrants will be sent the Zoom invitation the day before the seminar.

What would a Covid memorial look like? Designers share ideas for 'unprecedented' tribute
There is no memorial to the estimated 675,000 people killed in the U.S. in the 1918 Influenza pandemic on the National Mall. But if there were, some think, the country would have done a better job handling Covid-19.
"I think we could have been much better prepared had we been more culturally aware about what happened in 1918," said Spencer Bailey, the author of a recent book about memorials who has an unusually personal connection to memorials. "One of the reasons that we've found ourselves in our scrambled response to Covid is there are barely any memorials to the flu of 1918."

On climate change, it's time to lead
Devastating wildfires and brutal heat waves. Expanding drought. Disastrous storms and deadly flooding. Billions of dollars of damage and heartbreaking stories of lost lives and destroyed businesses and homes. Climate change is upon us, and the impacts we are witnessing and experiencing this year are but a harbinger of what's to come in the years ahead if we collectively fail to act.

The WTC’s Perelman Arts Center Begins to Grow Its Translucent Marble Skin
Almost exactly two decades after 9/11, and 15 years since reconstruction at ground zero got under way, one of the last big pieces of the WTC master-plan puzzle is falling into place. Or rather, a lot of pieces are falling into place, all covering one big piece: 4,896 marble panels are being fitted to the exterior of the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center, the $500 million dance, theater, and music venue situated right next to 1 WTC.
