S. P. Mandali’s English Medium School Auditorium, Chiplun was designed by V. N. Purandare™, independent acoustic and complete auditorium design consultants based in Pune. The appointment covered acoustics. Room volume, geometry, reverberation time and speech intelligibility are set against the hall’s intended use, with background noise from building services controlled so that the design reverberation figure is heard as clarity.
