The purpose of the bulletin was to provide support and guidance for acoustic considerations when planning and designing schools, and to outline methods for compliance with the Building Regulations.

	Suboptimal acoustic conditions within a teaching area can negatively affect pupils’ attainment, with those individuals with hearing impairments, speech, language or communication difficulties being particularly vulnerable. In addition, teachers may suffer with strained voices resulting in voice loss and a reduction in the control of classroom noise. Building Bulletin 93 was intended to address these problems by establishing a set of minimum standards.
