Project Overview
Planar Video Walls Enhance University’s New Innovation Center
The University of Charleston (UC) is a private university located in Charleston, West Virginia that is nationally recognized for its academic programs in citizenship, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and ethical practice and inquiry. Recently, UC advanced its entrepreneurial tradition by opening a new Innovation Center on its main campus. The newly renovated building will serve as the intercollegiate athletic facility for both volleyball and basketball. The $16.5 million upgrade to the university’s existing gym created a space that will bring students together not only for live sporting events, but will also serve as a recreational gathering space.
Inside the Innovation Center the university created a heightened audio-visual environment for students with the integration of video wall displays from Planar, a Leyard company. Two Clarity® Matrix® LCD video walls were installed in the new facility—a six-wide-by-one-high (6x1) array located at the entrance and a three-by-three (3x3) video wall that serves as a central display fixture in an “entertainment hub” located in the building’s atrium. The immersive and flexible Clarity Matrix video wall system combines the industry's thinnest profile ultra-narrow bezel with superior visual performance and outstanding image quality.
