CT-NEC Supports Arup Campus

CT-NEC recently provided an array of AV equipment to the official opening of the newly-built Arup Campus, attended by 500 guests, including the Lady Mayor of Solihull. Arup Group is a multi-disciplinary firm of consulting engineers offering independent advice and innovative designs globally. The new premises based in Solihull accommodate specialist divisions in rail engineering, bridges, geotechnics, advanced technology manufacturing and most recently communications and IT. Despite hosting its own 150-seater auditorium with in house AV facilities, Arup’s AV consultant David Lakin required the assistance CT-NEC to provide Sharp LCD projectors and associated sound systems to relay the events in the auditorium to the remaining guests throughout the building.

Further satellite projectors showed off presentations from each of the specialist divisions within the company. The package was completed by dual gobo projection of the Arup Campus logo on the outside of the building. CT-NEC provided a total of 11 Sharp LCD projectors, two 8x6 screens plus four Bose 802 speakers and control system. David Lakin commented: "As technical manager for the event, I was keen to keep the intrusion of the AV to a minimum in order to achieve a slick and polished performance, and thanks to the professional rigging and operational assistance of Creative Technology, the evening was a huge success." CT's project manager for the event was Alan Plant.
