The Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) integrates Spectrum-designed intuitive
educational technology including A/V systems, advanced yet proven low-voltage infrastructure,
energy-efficient and visually intriguing task and ambient lighting and well-coordinated
electrical systems. Collaborating with the owner, users and design and construction
teams, Spectrum Engineers provided electrical engineering and technology and lighting
designs that accommodate different learning and teaching styles. Throughout the
$40 million, 158,000 GSF HSEB are discussion nooks, lounges, a café, group meeting
spaces and a range of instructional environments from small classrooms to lecture
halls. Spectrum addressed the size and goals of each space, bringing human scale
to this large facility.
High resolution / high bandwidth media are shared between HSEB’s 63 individual AV
systems which enhance learning by providing seamless multimedia presentations in
a variety of settings, room sizes and configurations. Control of each instructional
space is at instructors’ fingertips. From the custom-designed lecterns, instructors
may select a presentation mode from the intuitive menus specially designed for HSEB
touch panels, initiating multiple simultaneous events.
