Quick answerWhat does an education AV integrator do?
An education AV integrator designs, installs, programs, and supports the audiovisual systems inside schools, colleges, and universities: classroom displays and audio, lecture capture, HyFlex and hybrid learning rooms, lecture halls, auditoriums, and campus digital signage. Creation Networks does this for K-12 districts, community colleges, and universities nationwide, with CTS-D certified engineers on design and one accountable team through programming, installation, and long-term support.
Education buyers can purchase through six active California CMAS cooperative purchasing contracts (3-24-11-1007, 3-24-11-1008, 3-24-11-1023, 3-24-11-1024, 3-24-11-1027, 3-25-04-1006), available to California state and local agencies, districts, CSU, and UC, or through direct purchase orders. Every room is designed with ADA assistive listening and a control interface faculty can use without training. See how schools and colleges buy and fund AV.
Education AV Integration for Schools, Colleges & Universities
A classroom that fails at 8:05 a.m. costs a teacher the first ten minutes and every student the first lesson. A lecture hall that drops its capture feed costs a hundred students their recording.
Education AV is not corporate AV with a school logo on it. The rooms are used by dozens of different instructors a week, most of them not technologists. They run on a bell schedule or class schedule that does not stop for repairs, and they are funded through bond measures, capital plans, and grants that move on fiscal-year deadlines. The systems that succeed behave identically in every room, recover without a help desk call, and can be supported by a campus IT team of three.
Creation Networks has built these rooms for community colleges and universities including Diablo Valley College, Los Medanos Community College, Lake Tahoe Community College, the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, and Touro University, nearly always as a retrofit inside an occupied campus and scheduled around academic breaks. Our consulting, design, programming, and installation teams work as one, so the engineer who designed your room is the person who answers when something needs adjusting two years later.
