Abstract
Acoustical laboratories for vehicle testing have specialized requirements which differ from those for most conventional buildings and facilities. As a result, the normal design and building process takes on added dimensions which need to be carefully considered and addressed. This paper presents an overview of the process that starts with conceptualization of the laboratory and ends with the validation and qualification of the laboratory, and includes particular emphasis on the inherent peculiarities. Case studies are provided of several potential perils and pitfalls that may be encountered in the process which can adversely affect the usability of the laboratory as well as the validity and repeatability of test results obtained by that laboratory. The paper concludes with suggested courses of action which will help either to avoid or minimize the compromises that imperil the functional effectiveness of a laboratory.
