AVYVE COMPLETES LEED CAMPUS HEADQUARTERS FOR BLUECROSS BLUESHIELD
Audio Visual Group Takes a Unique Approach to AV Design
February 1, 2009
AVYVE, a leading audio visual systems integration company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, today announced the completion of its AV design and implementation project with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST). Avyve’s design team delivered solutions that offer a fresh and unique experience for visitors and employees while maintaining functionality and aesthetic value.
"This project gave our team an opportunity to truly exercise its design talents,” says Merry McCleary, President and CEO of AVYVE. “BCBST wanted to create several environments which would allow its employees to collaborate, present, and communicate with minimal operating effort, and without technology intruding in the interior design. Our team took into account space design and aesthetics, room opportunities and limitations, technology capabilities and employee needs with a tremendous amount of attention to detail. The result was well-designed, intuitive and flexible systems.”
BCBST’s new 950,000 square foot headquarters, located on Cameron Hill in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, accommodates nearly 4000 employees. AVYVE was charged to create state-of-the-art environments including a large boardroom with a HD rear projection system and dual projection screens on motorized lifts for 360 degree visibility from its round boardroom table. Integrated video conferencing suites were created with dual rear projection screens, integrated microphones and audio conferencing, and a robust touch panel control system. Other spaces include a training center with custom smart lecterns, the campus lobby and cafeteria with integrated digital signage systems, as well as The Path of Wellness, a beautifully designed breezeway incorporating flat panel displays with large scale LED graphics that creates a unique experience for both guests and employees.
The BCBST project was completed on time and on budget.
