Tuesday morning, higher-education AV and IT professionals and integrators were taken back to school on a tour of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ new UNLV Advanced Engineering Building and its new Flexatorium and Maker Spaces.
Complete in February 2024, the building is the newest of four interconnected engineering buildings on campus—the largest growing major at UNLV. Located next to a 10,000-spot parking deck, the area is a main thoroughfare on the North side of campus, and having something that grabs the attention of students, teachers, and visitors was a must. “It’s Vegas, right?” said Frank Alaimo, manager of classroom technology at UNLV. “On the strip you have got signage everywhere. This was a prime spot for it.” A 39-outdoor-pitch Nanolumens video wall, one of three in the new building, adorns the outside of the building.
