Smooth Operations
A public school district in Virginia, USA, was facing significant challenges with its aging AV system in the multipurpose stage spaces located at its schools. These spaces, called “Cafetoriums”, serve as cafeterias, auditoriums, and gymnasiums.
In addition to replacing the outdated equipment, the school district needed a centralized device that would help staff members managing the equipment. Staff needed to focus on educational activities rather than managing technical components. A system that minimized the need for manual adjustments and interventions was crucial.
AVL solutions provider Pierson Computing Connection worked with the public school system to develop a cutting-edge solution tailored to the unique needs of the public schools’ multipurpose spaces that fit within their budget constraints while still meeting all their needs.
