A questionnaire survey of 401 architectural firms, completed in 1968, was designed to elicit information regarding usage of acoustical and other materials in schools, reasons for choice of materials, general design practice, and acoustical problems encountered. Of schools recently designed, 73% were of closed plan type and 27% of open plan type. Absorptive classroom ceilings, primarily of the acoustical board or tile type, were used in 94% of all schools. These were chosen for acoustical reasons, but also for economy and as part of integral ceiling systems. Carpeting was more prevalent in open-plan schools and was chosen for both acoustical and aesthetic reasons. Over half the schools were reported to have acoustical problems, predominant among which was sound transmission between class areas. This problem was associated with use of the open plan and also with inadequate wall and ceiling constructions.
