In many cases, the audio visual and videoconference elements of the education centre project have been incorporated in the building and room design to good effect. Video South has been part of the design and planning team and coordinated closely with architects and M&E consultants to realize the best possible room layouts and equipment integration. We also participate in the lighting design, presentation furniture, ventilation, surfaces, acoustics and finishes.
Good examples include:
- Royal Society of Medicine lecture theatres
- Royal College of Surgeons, London, lecture theatres and education department.
- Royal College of Physicians, London, Jerwood Centre
- University of Edinburgh, Medical School and Biomedical Research
- Frimley Park Hospital Education Centre
- Royal Preston Hospital Education Centre
- Southmead Hospital Learning and Research
- Maidstone Hospital Education Centre
In all such centres, attention to detail includes:
- Touch panel control of all facilities
- Integrated videoconferencing
- Full multi-media and lighting control
- Integration with PACS and medical imaging archives
- Live links to clinical areas (in hospitals)
- Overall design, furniture for presentation, quality acoustics
- User friendly
- Easy to use without technician support
