Fusion Digital upgraded AV systems in both historic halls, carefully integrating modern technology without disrupting the buildings’ architectural charm.

In Jephson Hall, Fusion Digital created a dedicated distance learning hub anchored by a 110” LG commercial display, which now serves as the focal point for large-scale hybrid instruction. The system was further enhanced with Sony PTZ cameras, Shure beamforming microphones, and a Logitech Rally Bar, all working together to deliver seamless video conferencing and crystal-clear communication for both in-person and remote participants.

Across the two buildings, 25 classrooms were transformed with technology tailored to meet the needs of distance learning, hybrid instruction, and traditional lectures. Each space was equipped with Sony 75” commercial displays and ViewSonic interactive displays, giving faculty reliable visuals and interactive teaching tools. To ensure a consistent experience for instructors, Fusion standardized lectern setups with HP All-in-One PCs, articulating mounts, and wireless peripherals.

The audio systems received a major upgrade with the installation of 68 Biamp in-ceiling speakers and 16 Sonance pendant speakers, supported by four Biamp DSPs and 24 Extron amplifiers. This combination provided robust, high-quality sound coverage throughout the classrooms. Fusion also reprogrammed the existing Extron control systems, extending their useful life while making operation simpler and more intuitive for faculty and staff.

To minimize disruption, Fusion assisted with the removal of outdated equipment and carefully managed the transition to the new systems. The upgrades were deployed quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project was completed within the compressed summer schedule so classrooms were ready for students and faculty by the first day of the semester.
