Utah Tech University in St. George, Utah upgraded their new 163,000 sft Science, Engineering, and Technology (SET) building with the latest solutions from Extron.
Extron AV switching, distribution, control, and audio amplification equipment is installed in 35 classrooms, labs, lecture halls, and conference rooms. Beyond the new-build SET building, an AV standardisation initiative retrofitted 175 existing rooms across 31 buildings with Extron equipment that can be managed remotely.
In the SET building, standard classrooms and larger lecture classrooms are equipped with AV systems centred around a DTP CrossPoint matrix switcher with built-in audio amplifier and control processor. Users operate the systems by tapping selections into a TouchLink Pro touchpanel. Multiple devices can supply AV content through wired connections and wirelessly via ShareLink Pro presentation systems. The standard classroom design was replicated and scaled up or down as needed in the campus-wide retrofit.
In the SET building's two anatomy labs, a NAV Pro AV over IP system allows 16 dissection stations to share video so that everyone can view a procedure at any station without having to crowd around. Conference rooms in the SET building employ DTP switching and ShareLink Pro wireless sharing. In eight private study rooms surrounding the SET building student lounges, HC 402 meeting collaboration systems facilitate idea sharing.
