Discovery Center

Challenge

The Missouri Department of Conservation needed an auditorium and classroom facility capable of delivering high quality sound and video for large and small audience events and training. This system is being used for staff, public meetings, large audience programs for schools, guest speakers, and concerts. Missouri Department of Conservation also utilizes this space for educational films, videos and training sessions.

Solution

The Urban Conservation Campus auditorium seats more than 300 and features a front projection video system, customized touch-screen control system that controls the lighting, display devices, assisted listening system, surround sound and microphone levels. A separate control room was utilized to keep the audio visual components out of sight. The two multipurpose rooms feature ceiling mounted projection systems, wireless microphones, custom touch-screen control systems, standard audio visual equipment including document cameras and DVD players. The six workshops each have standard audiovisual equipment and 35", ceiling mounted monitors. A portable videoconferencing cart is used in the workshops and utilized between of the other Missouri Department of Conservation rooms as needed.
