James Allen Girls School: AV Installation for Education

James Allen Girls School is an independent school located in Dulwich, London. The school is an academically selective, independent, day school for pupils aged 4-18, there are 770 girls from Year 7 (11+) in the senior school and 300 younger pupils are educated at JAPS (James Allen’s Preparatory School) and provide a leading educational experience on a 22-acre campus on the edge of Dulwich.

Solution

Known as a reliable AV installation partner for education, ITSL Group proposed a Crestron controlled system to manage the multiple video and audio inputs and to control the lighting scheme. The control, processing and switching equipment was to be housed in a dedicated rack with the lectern housing the “in-house” PC, Visualiser, Smart Sympodium and touch panel. ITSL designed the lighting layouts in conjunction with the electrical contractor to allow 12 channels of lighting, this was utilised across 24 600×600 recessed reflector units, LED down lighters and halogen spotlights; all controllable via the Crestron touch panel or the Crestron light switches located at the front and rear of the theatre.
The lecturer has full control of all aspects of the room from projector screen, projector, input select, volume control and microphone control, all these feature are accessible from the 6” Crestron touch panel mounted on the lectern.

How will ITSL work with you?

We at ITSL believe in simple, time-tested and robust working principles. The way we work with clients is simple and straightforward. Our projects are divided into 4 main stages.

Consultancy

This is the initial stage of every AV project. Here our aim is to meet our clients and talk about their needs and the final results they want to achieve.

Design

During this stage, our experts will design the solution for our clients and present it to them in a clear and easy to understand manner.

Supply

Once the design is approved ITSL will take care of contacting suppliers and ensure that every piece of hardware is ready for the project at the most cost efficient price.

Installation

Installation is when everything starts coming together. Our qualified engineers will work on-site with you to ensure that everything is to spec.

Commissioning

Before the launch of an AV solution, we run extensive QA to ensure that everything works as intended.

Training

After we’ve finalised the AV project and the hardware is ready to go live we will take care of training all of the staff that will operate it.

Maintenance

AV hardware runs best when it’s properly maintained. ITSL will provide scheduled maintenance on both the hardware and the software.

Support

Even after the work has been completed our clients can still rely on ITSL to take care of any problems on the equipment whenever the need arises.
