PROJECT SUMMARY

To support assemblies, performances, and athletic events, Azusa Unified School District required a gymnasium AV solution that combined high brightness, user-friendly operation, and seamless architectural integration. After a comprehensive site assessment, GST’s AV solutions architect team recommended the Epson EB-PU2120W laser projector, offering 20,000 lumens of brightness and 4K-enhanced resolution, ideal for large, well-lit spaces. To fully realize its visual impact, the team paired it with DaLite’s Myriad Reveal projection screen featuring SightLine Cable Drop – a modern, cable-suspended design that eliminates traditional black drop fabric and integrates cleanly into the gym’s architecture.

Key Tasks Included: 

  • Mounted and precisely aligned the projectors and motorized screens to ensure clear, properly sized images in each gym.
  • Installed ceiling-mounted speakers and adjusted the audio settings to deliver clear, even sound throughout the space.
  • Set up and tested all equipment, including wireless microphones, display controls, and sound systems, to confirm everything worked together smoothly.

GST delivered a high-impact AV solution that transformed Azusa Unified School District’s gymnasiums into dynamic, technology-enabled spaces built for modern assemblies, performances, and athletic events. A key differentiator was the integration of DaLite Myriad Reveal projection screens with SightLine Cable Drop, paired with high-lumen Epson laser projectors, which created a sleek, immersive viewing experience that enhanced both functionality and visual appeal. The upgraded AV environment has made events more engaging and turned the gym into a versatile hub for school and community activities. The positive feedback from students, staff, and visitors reinforces GST’s reputation for delivering innovative, future-ready solutions that exceed client expectations.

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) is the third largest school district in California, serving several cities and educating more than 80,000 students. LBUSD consists of 85 schools, with students ranging from pre-K to 12 grade and contains one of the most diverse student body.  LBUSD is dedicated to ensuring its students receive the best possible instruction and education.

GST contributed to LBUSD’s mission “to support the personal and intellectual success of every student, every day” by assisting in the refreshing of the school’s Chromebooks. GST restored the LBUSD’s Chromebook supply by first receiving old Anywhere and Ergotron carts and removing old cable chargers and Chromebook units. Chromebooks taken from these carts were serialized and replaced with newly enrolled and etched Chromebooks. The carts were cable managed as well and delivered back to the schools. Old Chromebooks had OS reinstalled to remove user data on them before being distributed back to the schools. These repaired Chromebooks were then donated to the students.

Systems and Equipment Used

  • HP Chromebook 11 G6 EE 6″ LCD Chromebook – Intel Celeron N3350 Dual-core (2 Core) 1.10 GHz – 4 GB LPDDR4 – 16 GB Flash Memory – Chrome OS – 1366 x 768 – Intel HD Graphics 500 LPDDR4 – Bluetooth – Front Camera/Webcam
