MNGD

Technology integration specialist MNGD delivered a cutting-edge audio-visual system for Gosford Central, designed to enhance teaching, learning, and hybrid collaboration. By combining bespoke AV infrastructure with intuitive lecturer control and fully coordinated installation, MNGD enabled a technologically future-proof learning environment that meets both teaching and operational requirements.

“Our scope included three seminar rooms, nine teaching spaces, and over 10 meeting rooms,” explained MNGD Director Josh Chircop. Each space was equipped with tailored AV infrastructure to support the university’s hybrid and interactive learning model.

Seminar rooms feature large projection screens, motorised lifters, dual-camera systems, pendant speakers, and wireless microphones, all operated through bespoke lecterns designed for intuitive lecturer control. “This centralised control and automation enable lecturers to manage both classroom and Zoom sessions seamlessly,” said Josh.

Teaching spaces utilise dual 98-inch displays and similar camera and audio configurations, while the meeting rooms incorporate flexible single- and dual-display setups with ceiling microphones and integrated conferencing tools.

“All system integrations are bespoke and involve a high level of coordination to avoid potential issues onsite,” Josh said. “Hansen Yuncken were incredible in ensuring the AV hardware was protected from impact by other trades, guaranteeing the best possible teaching and collaboration experience.”

Valued at over $1.5 million, the AV component was one of the largest of its kind outside Australia’s capital cities. Logistical challenges were managed through meticulous planning and strong collaboration between MNGD’s Newcastle site team and Sydney HQ.

“The project demonstrates our expertise in delivering advanced technology solutions for large-scale education environments,” Josh said. “Our onsite team handled complex integrations and coordination exceptionally, supported by our design documentation team.” The result is a seamlessly connected campus where technology empowers teaching.
