This facility will need a high-quality audio and video system for student programming as well as other large events that may be held in the ballroom. The goal is to have the ability to produce professional audio/video in all locations and/or have it separated into individual zones. To properly manage the audio and video in the facility, the solution needs to ensure that there are appropriate audio/visual inputs/outputs on the walls, the solution needs to be user friendly with the ability to manage the system from all 3 locations independently or combined. The solution should include a “manual” override if remote controls do not function. See equipment requirements in section 40.5.

The overall solution must allow for full viewing of visuals regardless of room setup and include the ability for in-person and/or virtual interaction. Additionally, the overall solution must provide for handheld or handsfree audio.
