The East Bronx area of New York City is in the midst of rapid development that is being paced by commercial properties such as the Hutchinson Metro Center Complex, a mixed-use campus on the Hutchinson River Parkway. Planar, along with system integration and digital media design and development partners, is meeting the need for advanced communication technology in the new complex, providing a large-scale video wall for the lobby that helps attract new tenants, provides an entertainment source in the building’s common space, as well as an advertising platform for the developer, commercial tenants in the building and nearby businesses.
The video wall, a four-by-four (4x4) array of Planar‘s Clarity™ Matrix LCD Video Wall System is installed on a prominent wall on the first floor of the complex’s Atrium Building, a 13,000 square-foot space that is open to visitors, tenants and their customers.
