Leeds Trinity University: City Campus

The space features dual pairs of 75" LG displays, one pair wall-mounted and the other mounted on a single mobile TOP-TEC Discovery dual trolley. This means the displays can be repositioned within the room as needed, allowing for flexible room configurations. Extron pendant speakers deliver high-quality audio to the room, while Audio-Technica ceiling microphones pick up conversations within the room for the benefit of those joining the meeting externally.

Making use of the audio and video peripherals around the room, the space runs as a fully integrated Microsoft Teams Room using a Poly touch panel to manage meetings. The familiar Teams Room interface gives users intuitive access to join calls, control camera options and manage content sharing with no technical expertise required.

This boardroom has been designed with a reliable system to support senior-level meetings with confidence, while keeping the technology unobtrusive and easy to use.

Lecture theatre

City Campus’s fourth floor lecture theatre has been purpose-designed to support engaging in-room lectures as well as hybrid learning. The room has been designed to deliver high quality visuals for everybody engaging with the session.

For those present in the room, the main displays are twin Hikvision LED walls, delivering bright and clear full-HD visuals across two 110" displays. Each LED wall is comprised of 2x2 panels with a 1.56mm pixel pitch at 60Hz. The result is a vibrant, high-contrast display that is visible for all students using the room.

Mounted either side of the LED walls are two Fohhn FS-110 slim line speakers providing clear and evenly distributed sound with a clean aesthetic. The main displays are supported by dual 75" wall-mounted LG repeater screens, giving extra visibility for those sitting further back, especially when the room is full.

Like other learning spaces in this building, the lecture theatre system has also optimised for those not in the room, with AVer 4K PTZ tracking cameras capturing lectures in high definition with smooth, hands-free video capture and streaming, while audio is captured by two Audio-Technica beamforming ceiling microphones.

Teaching staff can control the system with ease via an Extron TLP Pro 1025T tabletop touch panel, providing a consistent interface with the wider campus system. Input switching, volume control and display management are all integrated into a single point of control. A WolfVision Cynap Pure Pro has also been integrated in this space for wireless presentation, allowing staff or students to share content from any device without the need for extra cables.

This lecture theatre provides a high-spec, future-ready learning environment that offers the scale, flexibility and features required for flagship lectures, guest speakers and external events.

Each seating position is fitted with an Audio-Technica gooseneck microphone, supported by a ceiling mic to ensure complete audio capture coverage throughout the room. Two AVer PTZ tracking cameras provide high-resolution video capture.

The system in the courtroom space is built using Extron NAV encoders and scaling decoders, allowing high-quality, low-latency transmission of audio and video and giving tutors the ability to record, monitor or switch content on demand. 

A retractable 98" Euroscreen electric projection screen and Panasonic laser projector provide the room’s main visual content, with a 75" LG display mounted to a portable trolley at the rear of the room for secondary content or as a comfort monitor for those at the front. Extron ceiling speakers ensure audio is evenly distributed throughout, driven by a DSP matrix.

Adjacent to the courtroom are mock holding cells and a reception area to extend the realism of courtroom scenarios and allow the faculty to curate full simulation exercises. In the reception, a 49" LG display presents a real-time multi-room view with live feeds displayed from the various AV and CCTV sources.

A central control room houses the AV equipment along with a dedicated IP-based CCTV system. This includes an 8-channel OYN-X Eagle NVR, linked to four 8MP turret cameras for secure video capture. A dedicated iiyama monitor allows operators to observe and monitor the different spaces in the facility in real time.

The two interview rooms function as stand-alone Microsoft Teams Rooms with a similar set up to the building’s other meeting rooms. Each room is fitted with a Poly Studio R30 video bar, GC8 touch panel for meeting control, Extron ceiling speaker, and a 43" LG display.

Working together, these practical spaces support a range of hands-on learning situations for legal, criminology and policing students to work symbiotically. The AV setup here provides a high-performance in-room experience, as well as remote observation capability and secure recording within a realistic and reliable learning environment. Complemented by its AV system to aid learning, the facilities on offer for current and prospective new students help the University continue to stand out as a leading destination for criminology, law and policing.

PC labs

Specialist computer labs including a Trading Room, a Computer Science Lab and a Cybersecurity Lab have each been fitted with dual interactive displays (single in the smaller Cyber Lab), wireless sharing via a WolfVision Pure Pro device, Extron control, Aver PTZ cameras and Audio-Technica ceiling mics. Each follows the same standard setup as the general teaching rooms, allowing staff to move seamlessly between spaces without the need for additional system training.

Ground floor event space

A divisible area on the ground floor offers a flexible space for large group teaching, presentations, conferences and other events. Each section includes mobile TOP-TEC Spire trolleys, an LG display, wired and wireless input options, PTZ cameras, projection and a full audio system. A Loxit lectern has been installed in each space with the same equipment as the standard teaching rooms, so can be used for teaching as required. When opened up, the space functions as a bigger suite for larger events with centralised AV control and distributed display and sound.

Digital signage and social spaces

Digital signage screens have been installed on each floor throughout the building for announcements and wayfinding. On the top floor, TOP-TEC Spire mobile trolleys provide additional presentation support for breakout or overflow sessions.

Social areas have also been integrated with displays for informal recreational use. In the first floor student lounge, dual 65” screens with Freeview capability have been wall-mounted to offer a relaxed environment for downtime or communal viewing.
