AV Upgrade of Teaching Rooms across All Campuses
Phase 1 of Cardiff Metropolitan University upgrades of teaching rooms for seamless collaboration.
Project Overview
"Natalie, Dean and the rest of the team at Strive have yet again smashed it out of the park. Our packed summer install schedule of 32 rooms was successfully carried out with the kind of expert precision and eye for detail only Strive can provide. Our timescales and turn around were tight for this project but Strive took this in their stride and completed this project to their usual high standard. From last minute changes and delivery delays, to supply chain issues Strive handled everything without complaint and delivered everything to the deadlines given. Strive take the stress out of any AV project, big or small. With their partnership our upgraded teaching spaces will make a massive positive impact to the quality of the Cardiff Met learning and teaching experience."
