Overview
CrusaderAV partnered with Sollihull College and Stratford-Upon-Avon College during the summer fo 2024 to deliver a large-scale technology refresh across all campuses. The project involved the supply and installation of approximately 150 ViewSonic 75" interactive flat panel displays, aimed at transforming traditional classrooms into engaging, interactive learning spaces, whilst meeting the cyber security needs.
This rollout supports the colleges' commitment to providing high-quality, modern teaching tools for both staff and students.
The Challenge
The colleges were operating with a mix of legacy AV equipment, much of it outdated or inconsisten across rooms. This made it difficult for teaching staff to rely on a uniform experience or deliver lessons using modern interactive methods.
Key Requirements:
- A standardised display solution across all sites
- Rapid installation during the summer break
- Minimal impact on scheduled term-time operations
The Solution
Working closely with the IT and estates team at all campuses, CrusaderAV implemented a fast-track deployment of ViewSonic 75" 4K interactive displays.
Project Highlights:
- Interactive Technology: The IFPG1 range offers precise multi-touch control, ultra-clear 4K resolution, and built-in collaboration features, ideal for dynamic learning environments.
- Consistency Across Sites: All classrooms were fitted to a uniform specification, simplifying staff training and day-to-day usage.
- Efficient Rollout: CrusaderAV's project team worked on a phased schedule across all sites, ensuring all 150+ units were installed and commissioned within the summer window.
The Result
The upgrade has delivered immediate benefits to both staff and students. Classrooms are now equipped with responsive, intuitive technology that enhances lesson delivery and supports a wide range of digital teaching methods.
Outcomes:
- Improved Engagement: Interactive lessons have become easier to deliver, particularly with remote or hybrid learners.
- Streamlined Support: A consistent platform across both sites reduces maintenance issues and support requests.
- Positive Reception: Staff feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for ease of use and display quality.
Client Feedback
