The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is a world class centre renowned for its teaching and research expertise which covers the full range of social, political and economic sciences.

In addition to enhancing four substantial lecture theatres and associated control areas and a large number of classrooms of various sizes, the new AV solution needed to accommodate the broadcast requirements of the press who are invited to record guest speakers.

An integrated suite of sophisticated audio visual equipment that incorporated the industry's latest technologies and provided an intuitive, accessible solution that users could operate at every point on the system was installed. AV equipment with standardised sources and professional presentation solutions were installed within every teaching space, including lecture theatres and classrooms.

This innovative solution was delivered throughout key areas over three floors of the new building on time, within budget and in accordance with the recommended specification.
