NARRATIVE
The Corpus Christi City Council in August of 1973 authorized expendi-
ture of revenue sharing funds for two permanent senior citizen centers, Lindale
Center and Greenwood Center. A total of $630,714 was allocated to cover construc-
tion. architectural fees and other related expenses. The identical buildings each
contain 7,500 square feet of floor space for a cafetorium, kitchen, lounge, class
room, a large craft room with adjoining kiln, a small craft room, offices, storage
and courtyard.
The centers are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during the evening hours
upon request. Several hundred individuals frequent the centers to participate in
the meal and recreational programs, to seek various social services offered and to
attend meetings and classes.
The cafetoriums and the large craft rooms are used most often. These
rooms are the only rooms in the centers which can accommodate large groups of people.
The design of the cafetoriums and the large craft rooms is aesthetically
pleasing with floor to ceiling windows and cathedral ceilings; however, the high
ceilings and the large expanses of glass and concrete create a severe reverberation
of sound_ The exposure of hard surfaces creates echo problems and inhibits the use
of the rooms by groups of people. Voices are distorted and projected sound becomes
unintelligible. Lindale and Greenwood Centers have identical acoustical problems.
A sound absorption treatment is proposed in order to efficiently use the
centers for meetings and group gatherings. Acoustical treatment of the west and
south walls of the cafetorium and the north and west walls of the large craft room
at Lindale Center and corresponding walls at Greenwood Center will correct the rever-
beration from the hard - surfaced areas in these rooms.
Wall panels which are three - fourths of an inch in thickness will be used
to cover portions of the walls. The panels are thirty inches wide and nine feet
high, made of perforated mineral fiber board five - eighths of an inch thick, and
covered with modacrylic fabric. The panels absorb sixty percent of the sound
striking the surface.
The installation of the sound absorbing panels on the west and south
walls of the cafetorium and north and west walls of the large craft room at Lindale
Center and corresponding walls at Greenwood Center will allow the centers to be
used with maximum efficiency. Several senior groups have expressed concern over
the inefficiency of these rooms. The Senior Community Services Advisory Council
has shown considerable concern over the acoustical problem. The Council has studied
the problem through the Ad Hoc Acoustical Committee and has requested that the prob-
lem be corrected.
The City of Corpus Christi, Senior Community Services will comply with
the Davis -Bacon Act and other federal labor standards in the installation of the
acoustical materials. The City adheres to the provisions of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964.
