University of Worcester
Worcester, UK
The University of Worcester is the UK's fastest growing university receiving a 100% increase in applications over the last five years. It offers a thriving, modern learning environment and is set on a leafy parkland campus close to the centre of Worcester.
The university is the only higher education institution in Herefordshire and Worcestershire and is in the process of on an ongoing programme of expansion which includes a new £1m Digital Arts Centre and extends to a second proAV: official AV partner of the University of Worcester since 2008campus in the heart of the city.
proAV was asked to deliver professional audio visual systems for use across the University of Worcester campus. An innovative solution that comprised a wide range of specialist projection systems and would equip the university's extensive teaching and presentation facilities was required.
So, we designed a powerful integrated solution that incorporated a suite of the audio visual?s industry's most progressive technologies and included a suite of professional projection systems, display systems and a wide range of audio visual control equipment.
proAV delivered this solution on time, within budget and according to the client's exact specification. In line with the University of Worcester's operational requirements, the project was successfully delivered in two coordinated phases.
Additional information:
proAV was appointed as the University of Worcester's official AV partners in March 2008.
