Home of the University of Florida Gators, Gainesville is the county seat of Alachua County, FL, which offers a plethora of memorable experiences in the most populous city in North Central Florida. To expand research opportunities and community resources, the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners partnered with the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) to develop the Alachua County Agriculture and Equestrian Center. The center was created to provide a comprehensive venue for livestock shows, agricultural fairs, equestrian events, and various community activities. To power outdoor speakers across the venue, the center turned to the Connect Series amplifiers from LEA Professional.
The 37-acre site’s development involved the construction of new pole-barn structures, refurbishment of a 250x150-foot indoor equestrian arena, and construction of a new outdoor arena. These arenas included new lighting, PA systems, bleachers, and other infrastructure elements. When it came time to implement the PA system, facility staff contacted Daniel Hunt, director of business development of JSC Systems, to design and deploy it.
