•The range of reverberation time for a lecture room at 500 Hz is from 0.7 to 1.1
•If the reverberation time is longer than the optimum value ~ room will sound too lively and boomy
•If the reverberation time is shorter than the optimum value ~ room will sound dead and flat

Conclusions• Lighting
– All lighting design goals were met
• Aesthetically pleasing lighting design that highlighted architectural features
• Used mostly recessed or concealed luminaires to eliminate clutter in the spaces
• Energy efficient design by the use of only fluorescent luminaires
• Illuminance levels on surfaces were sufficient in all spaces
• Acoustical
– Acoustics in Lecture Hall can be improved to the optimal reverberation time level by changing the floor material, and covering the cove openings.
