With the imminent James Review and new guidelines and
regulations set to change the way schools are designed and built,
we are taking this opportunity to run a seminar on a hot topic for
the sector – school acoustics – and to explore whether we are
creating the right environments for the future.
It is an opportunity to look at best practice, to gain
perspectives from international experts on the latest research and
to look ahead at how we can produce decent quality acoustic
environments in schools and academies.
School Acoustics: Are we creating the right environments for the
future is a free seminar run by the British Council for School
Environments on the 6 June 2011 in Central Manchester from 10.00am
to 3.30pm. It is being hosted by Manchester City Council and kindly
sponsored by Lightspeed Technologies.
