Three Christie Jazz series 1DLP series power a 15-metre long by 2.8 metre tall display at the Building Centre in London.
The Jazz series 4K1600-JS projectors illuminate the L-shaped screen, offer a backdrop for presentations, product launches, film screenings, and brand storytelling at the hub’s main gallery area.
The project, a collaboration ARC Audio Visual & IT Solutions, distributor Audio Visual Material, and Christie, was completed in just eight weeks, meeting a rigid deadline.
The Building Centre’s main event space is a hub for exhibitions and industry gatherings of up to 350 guests, presenting unique challenges due to its size, architectural features, and the diverse nature of events it hosts.
Strong natural light from large windows proved to be a challenge, as well as complex logistical complexities of installing advanced AV technology in a historic venue.
The Building Centre required a system to replace its single projector set-up, capable of delivering image clarity, brightness, and reliability, while also offering flexibility for a range of uses. The system had to support everything from technical CAD walkthroughs and architectural presentations to dynamic video content and live event streaming.
The priority fell on ease of use and remote administration, enabling the Building Centre’s in-house team to manage content and AV operations confidently, regardless of event complexity.
Since launch, the new display spans two walls of the Building Centre’s exhibition space with a 90-degree corner.
The system was designed, supplied, and installed by ARC, with its consultancy, project management, engineering teams, and trainers overseeing the post installation works. Christie assisted with both the pre-sales meetings, explaining the technical nuances to the client, and was on-site to oversee the final commissioning of the projectors.
Since launch, the new display, which spans two walls of the exhibition space with a 90-degree corner, has been used for a series of presentations, showcases, and design-led events.
Danielle Williams, commercial director, AVM, commented: “I’m incredibly proud of how the team came together to deliver this project. Completing such a complex upgrade within just eight weeks was no small feat, but the collaboration between AVM, Christie, and ARC ensured everything was delivered on time and to an exceptional standard.”
