Sheffield Hallam University utilises 226 BRAVIA Professional Displays in their new development to create a modern and positive environment for students and academics alike
Weybridge, UK, 30th June – Sheffield Hallam University, one of the UK’s largest universities and the home of world-class facilities, has chosen Sony BRAVIA 4K Professional Displays for their brand-new development at their City Campus.
Time for change
Following a review, leading integrator Roche AV was chosen to give the university’s new buildings an audio-visual solution that was more in-line with the university’s reputation as a modern and award-winning establishment. Roche AV achieved this on a visual front by utilising 226 BRAVIA displays, a mix from BZ30J, BZ40H and BZ50L series.
“The versatility offered by BRAVIA Professional Displays combined with their highest-quality imagery made Sony the clear choice for this installation” commented Craig Pickard, Operations Director at Roche AV. “From the in-built signage solution to the wall-mount adjuster that comes with each display, using Sony BRAVIA for this installation made this large-scale job a near seamless task”.
Signage made simple
Spanning across 3 brand new teaching blocks, comprised of meeting spaces, classrooms, divisible spaces, immersive rooms and trading floors, it was vital that the AV solution for this project had to be hassle-free as possible. Thanks to the on-board BRAVIA Signage Free software that automatically plays out high-quality content by simply utilising a USB, this installation couldn’t have been more seamless.
Sustainable displays for a sustainable institution
Sheffield Hallam University states they are committed to embedding environmentally sustainable practices in every part of the institution’s operations, and this installation marks them upholding this commitment. Produced partly using Sony-developed SORPLAS™, a flame-retardant recycled plastic, the amount of virgin plastic used for this project was drastically reduced. Additionally, each of the 226 BRAVIA displays houses its own Eco Dashboard, making it far easier to save energy and reduce the waste of resources where possible.
“As an award-winning university that has a reputation for its world-leading facilities, we are beyond-thrilled that Sheffield Hallam University has utilised Sony’s BRAVIA displays,” comments Adam Dover, Senior Trade and Segment Marketing Manager for Sony Europe. “We hope other institutions will opt for BRAVIA Professional Displays, as the versatile and seamless functionality offered makes it a far simpler process.”
