Central Community College has campuses in Grand Island, Columbus, and Hastings, Nebraska; and learning centers in Holdrege, Kearney, and Lexington.
The purpose of this project was to create audio-video systems that enable distance learning between classrooms and select conference rooms at the three main campuses and at the learning centers.
AVANT ACOUSTICS provided the following services:
Project Highlights:
AVANT ACOUSTICS designed distance learning and conferencing systems that allowed automated functionality and ease-of-management with remote access control over the college network. All in-room functions were set up to work automatically with automatic microphone mixing and automatic camera tracking. This enables instructors to walk into the classroom and begin teaching without worrying about the AV technology.
The process of recording classes was also streamlined through implementation of an automated process. Video archiving and playback included both the speaker and presentation at full resolution with searchable metadata tags and user comments.

Acoustical performance was a key success factor in the renovation of Peru State College’s V. H. Jindra Fine Arts Building, which includes a black box recital hall, choral and band rehearsal rooms, classrooms, conference rooms, offices, solo instrumental practice rooms, and a recording studio.
AVANT ACOUSTICS provided the following services:
Project Highlights:
In the recital hall, positioning of sound-absorbing wall panels and ceiling reflectors support many possibilities for performance configurations. Sound-absorbing and diffusing panels were deployed in the choral and band rooms to help create a sense of ensemble. As the band room is located directly above the choral room, special measures were taken to design and construct a low-profile noise control ceiling to adequately isolate the two rooms.
This project was an American School and University Magazine National Award Winner and an Associated Builders and Contractors Renovation and Overall Award Winner.
