Renovation of Acoustic Wall Panels in University Classrooms

The classrooms of this university previously experienced significant echo issues, and external noise occasionally interfered, adversely affecting the quality of teaching. In this renovation project, the walls were identified as critical areas for treatment, leading to the installation of wood slat panels. These acoustic panels exhibit exceptional sound absorption performance in mid and high frequencies, effectively reducing sound reflection and lowering reverberation time, thereby enhancing the clarity of the teacher’s voice during lectures.

Constructed from high-quality wood with visible grain patterns, these wood slat panels present a natural aesthetic that combines simplicity with elegance. Wood is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material; its production process has a relatively low environmental impact while offering remarkable durability and recyclability—principles that align with contemporary green building concepts.

The design of classroom desks and chairs is equally simple yet functional, harmonizing with the wooden elements on the walls to create an overall cohesive effect. Recessed ceiling lights provide ample illumination, making the entire space feel bright and spacious.

Following the renovation, professional assessments have confirmed a significant reduction in classroom noise levels along with greatly improved speech clarity. Teachers no longer need to raise their voices excessively; students can easily hear instructional content clearly, fostering more dynamic classroom interactions. Additionally, the installation of acoustic panels enhances wall aesthetics by introducing elements of nature and warmth into the overall environment.

This acoustic engineering renovation has effectively addressed the original acoustic issues present in the classroom, thereby fostering an enhanced teaching environment for both educators and students.
