Lyle:
MCSi is familiar with this standard and will incorporate it in their 
acoustical recommendations. Please read MCSi's (Bill's) notes below. His 
team can further involve themselves in the actual construction 
materials, but they prefer to leave that to the construction contractor..

Hi Jerry,

The ANSI S12.60 2002 standard is really a specification for sound 
environment in new classroom buildouts.  Here is a statement that I 
pulled to better explain the standard:

ANSI Standard S12.60-2002, Acoustical Performance
Criteria, Design Requirements and Guidelines for Schools

ABSTRACT
"This Technical Report provides acoustical performance criteria, design 
requirements and design guidelines for new school classrooms and other 
learning spaces. The standard may be applied when practicable to the 
major renovation of existing classrooms. These criteria, requirements, 
and guidelines are keyed to the acoustical qualities needed to achieve a 
high degree of speech intelligibility in learning spaces.  Design 
guidelines in informative annexes are intended to aid in conforming to 
the performance and design requirements, but do not guarantee 
conformance.  Test procedures are provided in an annex when conformance 
to this standard is to be verified."

This standard would be an architect or contractor build-out issue.  We 
would give the sound requirements for the room, and with this 
information, it typically is an acoustical engineering firm that would 
work with the end user to specify floor, wall and ceiling treatments to 
meet these specification.  We can offer this service of specifying 
surface treatments at an additional cost.  Our quote includes providing 
acuostical sound level specifications to be met by the contractor 
performing the buildout in the room.

Hope this helps, lets talk further tomorrow about this and see where we 
need to go with this.  Thanks, talk to you soon.
