    Brigham Young University constructed a new 38-foot diameter planetarium that also serves as a classroom. Due to the dome structure of planetariums, they typically have poor acoustics. Acoustic recommendations were made prior to construction based on computer models and simulations to improve the listening environment for lectures. Measurements after completion showed the acoustic parameters over the floor plan, which are compared to the computer predictions. The planetarium's acoustics were improved through treatments on the dome and outer walls as recommended.

    ABSTRACT

    Brigham Young University has recently constructed a planetarium with a 38‐ft.‐


    diameter dome. The facility also serves as a classroom. Since planetariums
    typically have poor acoustics due to their domed ceiling structures, acoustical
    recommendations were requested before its construction. The
    recommendations were made in an attempt to create an acceptable listening
    environment for lectures and other listening events. They were based in part on
    computer models and auralizations intended to predict the effectiveness of
    several acoustical treatments on the outer walls and on the dome itself. The
    recommendations were accepted and the planetarium was completed
    accordingly. A series of acoustical measurements was subsequently made in the
    room and the resulting acoustical parameters were mapped over the floor plan.
    This paper discusses these results and compares them with the predictions of
    the computer models.
