Collaborative technologies 'illuminate' new open classroom spaces.
In December of 2021, the school began its re-development and transformation of an existing heritage building into the brand-new and aptly-titled “Illuminate Centre.” As part of these upgrades, Vision One were commissioned to design and deliver a revolutionary and collaborative audio visual experience for staff and students alike.
- Enhance Classroom Interaction: Equip classrooms with advanced 4K display panels and wireless presentation systems to foster dynamic and interactive learning environments.
- Seamless AV Control Integration: Implement a Kramer Control System to provide faculty with centralised and easy-to-use control over audio-visual technologies across the centre.
- Optimised Sound Distribution: Install high-quality Audac soundbars and in-ceiling speakers to ensure clear, consistent audio throughout both floors of the Illuminate Centre.
