RAL has six reverberation chambers available for acoustical materials testing, as well as a fully equipped machine and tool shop. Certain projects and tests are conducted in additional areas available on the premises. RAL's clients have access to the entire spectrum of capabilities at Alion's Chicago headquarters and research facilities across the country. All tests being conducted in the reverberation rooms are monitored in a central control room. Utilizing computer networking, two similiar test systems control the data aquisition, evaluation, and report generation. Printouts including the data and graphical presentation are available to the client immediately following the completion of each test. Clients have access to a private office for their exclusive use, a conference room and a large lecture hall with audio-visual equipment. The laboratory also houses the Riverbank Acoustical Museum and Acoustical Library.
