The auditorium is a large teaching, presentation and events space with a seating capacity of 200. Equipped to allow a high degree of functionality it includes production lighting, multiple high definition Panasonic PTZ cameras with recording facilities and comprehensive sound system including solutions for programme, voice reinforcement and hearing assistance sound. A twin front projection system was setup using 12k Epson Laser projectors backed up with two 65” NEC repeater screens. A wireless collaboration solution from Kramer, central audio and lecture capture are all managed centrally via an XTP Extron control system through to the Control room which houses a Panasonic vision mixer and Allen & Heath audio desk allowing operators to take full control as and when required. 

The LSE style Seat Lecture Theatre is a new and uniquely designed space with audience seating either side of a central presentation position. Again, dual projection and four repeater displays enable teaching and collaboration to take place seamlessly without the need to move the furniture around.

Further lecture and seminar rooms are made up of either dual projection or single projection display, Kramer wireless presentation solutions and Sony PTZ cameras. Wolfvision desk cameras and Echo 360 lecture capture systems combine video management with lecture capture to support active learning for students. Tripleplay IPTV and digital signage solutions can be seen in the open zones around reception displaying LSE communications and news on 55” portrait Philips screens.

Beyond the main building, the new alumni centre is a dedicated space created for their global alumni and offers business facilities including meeting rooms and relaxed social spaces for events. An Epson laser projector and Screen International projector screen provide large display solutions for events whilst two 65” NEC displays enable meeting room collaboration using Kramer VIA Connect PRO and Logitech ConferenceCam. Audio is managed through Sennheiser Speechline wireless microphones and Tannoy pendant speakers.
