BUDGET: Between 1 crore INR and 4.99 crore INR (More than USD135,000 but less than USD540,000)
Project Overview
We successfully executed Phase 1 of the Audio-Visual integration project at SRM Institute of Science & Technology, Chennai, valued at ₹4.95 crores. The objective was to deliver a next-generation smart educational ecosystem that enhances interactive learning, collaboration, and hybrid teaching capabilities for both students and faculty.
This comprehensive AV implementation covered multiple learning environments, including smart classrooms, multipurpose halls, and tech-enabled auditoriums. The integration focused on seamless content sharing, high-quality audio and video conferencing, live streaming, and intuitive control systems. Technologies like interactive displays, advanced AV switching, PTZ cameras, and professional-grade audio systems were used to ensure an immersive and efficient learning experience.
Phase 1 set a solid foundation by enabling lecture capture, remote teaching through Zoom, centralised control, and real-time audience interaction. Encouraged by the success of Phase 1, Phase 2 of the project has already commenced, underscoring the institute’s commitment to transforming education through technology.
What did the client want to achieve?
The client aimed to harness the power of modern technology to transform the educational environment, making it more interactive, accessible, and effective for both professors and students. Their vision was to enhance teaching methods through advanced digital tools that support seamless content delivery, real-time collaboration, and improved student engagement.
Scope of work your company was involved in
We were tasked with designing and executing the setup of classrooms and multipurpose spaces across the entire building, ensuring top-quality results throughout the process.
What Key Challenges were faced?
We were onboarded a little late in the project, and by this time, all the allied agencies had completed their work, which included Raceways, power, Lan, Wall finishes, etc.
How were those challenges resolved?
To ensure minimal disruption to ongoing work, we collaborated closely with other agencies through multiple workshops and agreed on a well-coordinated plan. In cases where modifying completed work wasn’t possible, we adjusted by relocating AV equipment as needed. Despite these constraints, we successfully delivered a high-quality implementation.
How has your work helped the client
Post-implementation, professors are now delivering lectures more effectively with the support of technology, confident that their content is clearly seen and heard by all students. They comfortably teach groups of over 150 students, and the interactive displays enable them to annotate live, making their explanations more engaging and dynamic.
What are you most proud of about the project?
We are most proud of how we successfully transformed SRM Institute’s vision into a functional, future-ready educational ecosystem, despite significant execution challenges. Being onboarded after the completion of civil and allied works could have posed severe limitations. Still, through proactive collaboration, agile planning, and smart adaptability, we turned a challenging situation into a seamless integration success story.
The real achievement lies in how the implemented AV solutions are now empowering faculty to teach more effectively and engage large student groups with ease. The integration of technologies like interactive displays, high-quality audio systems, and multi-camera switching has significantly enhanced the classroom experience, making learning more dynamic, inclusive, and tech-enabled.
Moreover, the fact that the institute immediately initiated Phase 2 following the success of Phase 1 is a testament to their satisfaction and confidence in our capabilities. This progression validates our efforts and showcases our ability to deliver value-driven, scalable AV solutions for large educational institutions.
