Marylebone, London, UK
2017
London Business School's Sammy Ofer Centre was created through the major refurbishment of the Old Marylebone Town Hall and Library, giving the School a state-of-the-art teaching centre in the heart of Marylebone. The development increased London Business School's teaching space by 70%, while bringing modern learning environments into a Grade II-listed building with significant architectural character.
GVAV was appointed to deliver AV across more than 50 teaching and meeting spaces, digital signage areas, boardrooms and eight new lecture theatres, all supported by a central control room.
GVAV's main focus was to create a consistent AV experience across more than 50 teaching and meeting spaces, digital signage locations, boardrooms and eight lecture theatres.
Designed for flipped-classroom teaching, each 35-seat room includes a custom white teaching desk, an AMX touchscreen monitor, a Dell touchscreen monitor and a hidden PC.
GVAV delivered a uniform AV system across a large and architecturally sensitive estate, giving London Business School a consistent standard for teaching, collaboration, conferencing and event delivery.
Standardised AV across teaching rooms, lecture theatres and meeting spaces helps staff work confidently across different environments.
Technology was carefully incorporated into listed and wood-panelled spaces, preserving the character of the building.
The system supports lectures, group teaching, conferencing, Council Chamber use, streaming, recording and remote monitoring.
“They've delivered everything we required and more in an extensive, uniform and future-proof system.”
London Business School highlighted GVAV's ability to deliver the AV requirements while working flexibly alongside other trades throughout the wider building renovation.
