Utah Tech Can Manage 32 Buildings Remotely—Here's How They Do It

A classroom at Utah Tech donned with Extron equipment.

Utah Tech University in St. George, UT recently opened its massive 163,000-square-foot Science, Engineering, and Technology (SET) building. To ensure students and teachers had an enhanced experience, Extron AV switching, distribution, control, and audio amplification equipment was installed in 35 classrooms, labs, lecture halls, and conference rooms. Beyond the new-build SET building, an AV standardization initiative retrofitted 175 existing rooms across 31 buildings with Extron equipment that is efficiently managed remotely.

“The campus-wide standardization initiative focused on consistency. We want to provide instructors with a dependable and uniform AV experience in every room. We leverage GlobalViewer Enterprise to implement a strong AV management back-end to maximize AV system uptime,” said Shaun Hayes, Utah Tech's senior audiovisual administrator. "Major technical delineators that influenced selection of Extron as an AV equipment supplier were Extron’s AV system control and remote support models, which make it extremely easy for AV professionals to design, configure, and manage complex rooms.”
