Solutions
Classroom
Transform your classroom into flexible learning spaces.
Today’s interactive classroom takes the K-12 standard and builds on it, providing for interactive whiteboards and multimedia podiums with support for presentations, high definition video, student response systems, long distance learning, and video conferencing.
Transform your classrooms into technology-enhanced learning environments that support innovation, achievement, and success. With interactive technology, instructors can equip students with the collaboration, critical thinking and technology skills they need to have successful careers in today’s workplace.
Your institution’s flexible learning spaces where students and teachers can easily connect to and use the technology in the classroom to share ideas and inspire one another.
Lecture Hall
Lecture Halls present a unique challenge to learning that isn’t present in the smaller classrooms. Proper viewing of the course material from all areas of the room, intelligibility of the instructor’s words as well as those of the fellow students are often not considered in the original design of the space by the architect.
Large screen high definition projection systems allow for accurate, clear, communication of academic material greatly improving the quality of lectures and motivating overall learning. Interactive lecterns with digital connectivity for: A guest laptop; document camera; podasting, and auxiliary video sources – all easily controlled by a simple to use custom programmed touch panel – are standard for proper teaching and learning.
Audio systems that support program audio, instructor voice reinforcement; student speech lift and support for the hearing impaired guarantee all students will have the same experience regardless of where they are seated in the room. Transform your lecture halls into learning spaces where instructors can accurately communicate information as it was originally intended.
Boardroom
Design a room ready for tough decision-making among invested faculty members
The boardroom is where mission critical decisions are made. The faculty’s need to work together as a team is essential to the success of those strategic, tactical and operational decisions. A properly designed easy-to-use audiovisual system must provide an equal experience for all those seated in the room as well as attending remotely via audio or video conferencing.
Large screens and outstanding image quality that is easily viewed from the sides and rear of the room must also be viewable by web and video conferencing participants. Audio systems support program audio and room-based audio conferencing for accurate and swift decision making.
Computer Lab
Dedicated spaces designed to provide students with computer applications and hardware platforms they need to do their best work
The properly designed audiovisual system will support all teaching styles, allow every student to face the front of the room where they can have eye contact with the teacher and easily view either the instructor’s computer or any other students computer in the room.
Our designs feature projection screens with ceiling mounted projectors or interactive whiteboards up to 90” diagonal that allow the teacher to control his/her computer from the front of the room. With the addition of computer lab instruction software, the teacher can control every students PC in the room, divide the students up into groups where they can view each others work and bring any users screen up to the front of the room for viewing by others.
Additional room features may include support for video, audio, podcasting, and speech reinforcement for the hearing impaired.
Fitness Center
Enhance your school’s fitness center with zoned audio systems and motivating video options
Studies show that those who engage in moderate exercise have higher grades and better performance than those who lead sedentary lifestyles. Proper stimulation through sound and video motivates students to exercise. In fact, research proves that health club goers remain in the gym longer when they are motivated by music and video options.
The importance of a well designed audiovisual system is equally as important as the equipment itself and must be part of the initial design of the facility.
Student Lounge
Create an inspiring, multi-use meeting space for students with audiovisual integration
The student lounge serves as a meeting place for exchanging ideas, study hall, small group collaboration center or simply a place to relax and unwind. Properly designed student lounges are the perfect space for a multitude of audiovisual solutions including relaxing background music, cable TV, and digital signage displaying current news, weather and campus messaging.
Larger spaces that can be turned into multi-use spaces require more sophisticated systems for large screen projection systems supporting computer and video presentations, sound systems that support voice reinforcement as well as controlled lighting and shade systems.Presentation Products is an expert in designing audiovisual systems for student lounges.
Theater
Build a reliable, versatile theater venue to host guest lectures, screenings, events and classes at your university
Large spaces such as Theaters and Auditoriums are typically used as a multi-purpose venue for plays, concerts, speeches, movies, lectures and learning. These spaces present a multitude of technical challenges as they need to be carefully designed for many different uses by many different users.
A properly designed audiovisual system must be flexible, tamperproof and allow for a large variety of computer and video based presentations. With audio support, these can range from an individual standing behind a lectern, to a panel of speakers sitting at a table, to an entire ensemble on stage.
As users and administrators of the system can change daily, the space must be easy to use while supporting connectivity for microphones, computers, video and control of lights, shades, projectors, screens and sound from many different locations in the room. Our designs feature custom wall and floor plates with quick disconnect custom cabling to lockable lecterns that house all the equipment a presenter may need.
Reception Area
Welcome students and guests with your brand displayed on clean digital signage systems
Your reception area is at the heart of your college’s department. It is the first and last impression your visitors will experience. The role of the reception area has changed in today’s colleges and universities. The environment must easily accommodate a variety of different functions.
Digital Signage greets your guest in a friendly manner by displaying corporate branding, current news and weather, projecting warm and welcoming background music, and welcoming your guest by name. Flat panel displays seamlessly integrated into the architecture keep traffic paths clear and provide wide viewing angles ensuring a clean view wherever they are mounted. Presentation Products will create an experience for your guests that reflects your values, creates lasting impressions and makes visitors and staff feel welcome and at home.
