Episcopal Academy, Newtown Square, PA
The brand new sprawling campus of Episcopal Academy, which was a $1.5 million AV project, is now complete! Due to time constraints Hifi House Commercial AV was able to complete the project in record time.
Episcopal Academy’s objective was to provide campus-wide state-of-the-art audio visual equipment to improve teaching and learning capabilities. For example, all the academic buildings now have 50” ceiling mounted flat panel televisions to enhance their every day teaching and learning styles. This is just the beginning. High-end speakers and video cameras were installed in the chapel so not only everyone on campus can view the mass or speaking engagement, but everyone in the northeast of the United States has access as well. Episcopal Academy also has a top-of-the-line theater including a 25 foot HD projection screen utilized for performances, lectures, and other events throughout the year.
