Abstract
A ceiling system that includes at least one acoustic ceiling tile that can be quickly and easily installed onto a ceiling hanger system. The ceiling system may comprise an acoustic ceiling tile and a plurality of magnetic assemblies.

A ceiling system comprising:
- a ceiling hanger system;
- an acoustic ceiling tile comprising a bottom surface and a side wall extending upward from the bottom surface;
- a plurality of magnetic assemblies, each of the magnetic assemblies comprising a magnetic retaining clip and a magnet secured to the magnetic retaining clip, the plurality of magnetic assemblies detachably coupled to the side wall of the acoustic ceiling tile at multiple locations about a perimeter of the acoustic ceiling tile;
- and
- the acoustic ceiling tile mounted to the ceiling hanger system via magnetic coupling between the magnets of the plurality of magnetic assemblies and the ceiling hanger system;
- wherein, for each of the magnetic assemblies, the magnetic retaining clip is a resilient clip that is alterable from an original shape to an open state when subjected to a force and returns to the original shape upon cessation of the force, the magnetic assembly capable of being removed from the side wall of the acoustic ceiling tile when in the open state.
