proAV: official AV partner of the University of Worcester since 2008

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.
