Local Expertise
Chapel Hill is a campus town, and campus AV has its own set of demands: durability, ease of use for rotating instructors, and systems that scale across dozens of rooms without dozens of different problems. We build classroom and lecture hall AV systems with that reality in mind.
Designed for how classrooms actually get used:
Classroom AV systems serve the needs of different instructors every hour, most of whom have only seconds before students arrive to figure out how to use the system in front of them so they can teach effectively. We design smart classroom technology around that constraint: simple, consistent controls across every room on campus, so a faculty member who learned the system in one building can walk into another and already know how to use it. That consistency is what keeps IT support calls down once a semester starts.
Scaling AV across a campus, not just a room:
Whether it’s a single lecture hall or a full building rollout, Chapel Hill’s education institutions need AV that’s standardized enough to manage centrally but flexible enough to fit rooms of very different sizes. For example, seminar rooms, large lecture halls, lab spaces, and lecture capture setups all have different requirements. We work with facilities and IT teams to build a system architecture that scales cleanly across a campus rather than treating every room as a one-off project, which is often where older classroom AV installations start to break down.
What we install in Chapel Hill:
Smart classroom AV systems
Lecture hall audio and lecture capture technology
Campus-wide AV standardization projects
Interactive displays and presentation systems
Faculty and IT support training
