AV Solutions for Education: 5 Proven Institutional Results

Overview

AV Solutions for Education play a critical role in shaping modern learning environments. This case study explores how the Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya (IIM-BG), India’s 16th IIM, developed a state of the art campus designed to support world class management education through advanced audio visual infrastructure.

With diverse academic and administrative spaces, the institute required AV Solutions for Education that could support large classrooms, executive meetings, and high profile academic events without adding operational complexity.

About the Institution

The Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya is an autonomous public business school established to uphold the legacy of the IIM ecosystem. Recently inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the campus represents a blend of academic excellence and modern infrastructure.

At IIM Bodhgaya, technology was expected to enhance teaching outcomes, enable collaboration, and scale seamlessly as academic needs evolved making robust AV Solutions for Education a foundational requirement rather than an add on.

Project Scope

Vallect was appointed as the AV integration partner to design and deploy end to end AV Solutions for Education across the campus. The scope included:

• A 500-seater auditorium designed for lectures, conferences, and events
• Smart classrooms ranging from 45 to 140 pax
• Boardrooms, meeting rooms, research labs, and common areas

In total, AV systems were delivered across 20+ classrooms, multiple meeting spaces, and specialized academic environments, with a focus on performance critical zones such as the auditorium, largest classroom, and executive boardroom.

Challenges

Designing AV Solutions for Education at scale presented several challenges:

• Multiple spaces with varying capacities and usage patterns
• Consistent audio visual quality across small and large rooms
• Simple operation for faculty with minimal technical dependency
• Integration with existing IT and lighting infrastructure
• Long-term scalability for future academic growth

These challenges required more than equipment selection they demanded a strategic AV architecture aligned with institutional workflows.

Approach & Planning

The project began with an in depth requirement assessment covering room sizes, teaching methodologies, infrastructure constraints, and long term academic goals. This phase ensured that the deployed AV Solutions for Education were purpose built rather than generic.

The design approach focused on:

• Custom AV system design for each space
• High-clarity audio and visual performance
• Centralized control through intuitive touch panels
• Seamless coordination between AV, audio, and lighting systems
• Rigorous testing and faculty training

This approach ensured that AV for education was implemented as an enabling system, not a technical burden.

Our design approach aligns with established research on integrating multi layered audio visual systems in complex environments.

Solution Highlights

Auditorium (500 Seater)

The auditorium AV setup was engineered to support lectures, conferences, and institutional events with consistent clarity. The auditorium AV system integrates high lumen projection, distributed audio, wireless microphones, and centralized control to deliver reliable performance regardless of audience size.

Smart Classrooms

Smart classrooms were designed to enhance engagement through interactive displays, wireless presentation gateways, and clear audio reinforcement ensuring AV for education supports both traditional lectures and interactive learning formats.

Boardrooms & Meeting Spaces

Executive spaces were equipped with video conferencing, discussion systems, and presentation tools to support decision making and collaboration, all managed through simplified control interfaces.

Technology Implementation

Across classrooms, meeting rooms, and the auditorium AV environment, systems were designed with a consistent signal flow from input devices to processing, amplification, and display ensuring predictable performance and ease of troubleshooting.

Centralized AMX based control systems allow users to manage audio, video, displays, and lighting through predefined presets, reducing operational complexity across the campus.

5 Proven Institutional Results

The deployed AV Solutions for Education delivered measurable improvements across the institution:

• Consistent AV performance across 20+ classrooms and shared spaces
• Improved clarity and engagement during lectures and presentations
• Faster setup times with minimal technical intervention
• Simplified operation for faculty and staff
• Scalable infrastructure ready for future expansion at IIM Bodhgaya

Differentiation

What sets this project apart is the unified delivery of AV Solutions for Education across the entire campus. Beyond AV integration, Vallect acted as a technology advisor supporting lighting integration and stage systems to create a cohesive academic environment.

“We chose Vallect as our technology partner for deploying AV integration across our campus. Their understanding of academic environments from classrooms to auditoriums and boardrooms helped deliver solutions that are intuitive, reliable, and impactful for our faculty and students.”
