Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council

Rotherham, UK

Rotherham is one of four metropolitan districts which make up South Yorkshire and provides services to a population of more than 250,000 residents. The full council comprises 63 councillors and services are led by the council’s Strategic Leadership Team (SLT) of chief officers.

Rotherham Town Hall was built in 1929 in the town’s most prestigious area with facilities for council business, including hearings and meetings and is also a splendid historical location for marriage ceremonies and receptions.

When Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council made the decision to refurbish the Town Hall Building, proAV was successfully selected following a tendering process to deliver a fully-integrated audio visual solution that would complement the stunning interior styling.

The result is an outstanding range of industry-leading technologies and equipment that has helped Rotherham Town Council deliver a more accessible and interactive experience for everyone who uses the refurbished facilities. Ian Wallington, proAV

proAV designed an innovative scheme for the Town Hall, incorporating a wide range of audio visual facilities, including high definition projection, presentation, display and delegate microphone systems.

The result is an outstanding range of industry-leading technologies and equipment that has helped Rotherham Town Council deliver a more accessible and interactive experience for everyone who uses the refurbished facilities.

The project was designed and commissioned installed on time, within budget and according to the client’s precise specification thanks to Mark Johnson Consultants’ impeccable project design and proAV's specialist project management and world class technical resources.
