HELP SOUGHT: Sound Baffling
We have so much knowledge and expertise in our community and would like to draw upon that, if possible, to help the Commons Room Committee address the issue of noise in the Commons Room. What are some ways to reduce echo within the room and reduce sound traveling through the ceiling to the unit(s) above? If you are willing and able, please let me know.
USE OF COMMONS ROOM / SCHEDULING
Everyone who uses the Commons Room must have a reservation.
