The program features advanced culinary classrooms designed to enhance both individual and team learning experiences. Students work with high-quality foods and equipment, gaining professional skills in cutting-edge facilities, which prepare them for successful careers.
PixelFLEX was asked to partner with TEL Systems to elevate the learning experience at Schoolcraft College by installing a cutting-edge direct view LED display. FLEXMod was selected for its unique ability to create a curved, seamless screen, enhancing visual engagement. The installation comprised 26 cabinets of FLEXMod with a 1.9mm pixel pitch, resulting in a 35-feet wide, 6-feet tall overhead display that curves across the front of the culinary program’s classroom.
This innovative LED display allows students to have an enhanced, up-close view of the instructor during lessons, significantly improving the educational experience.
The curved, bezel-free screen ensures that every student has a clear, unobstructed view, making it easier to follow demonstrations and instructions. This installation not only modernizes the classroom environment but also supports a more interactive and immersive learning process. The high resolution and superior image quality of the LED display provide detailed visuals, crucial for culinary students who need to observe intricate techniques and presentations.
By integrating advanced LED technology into the classroom, PixelFLEX and TEL Systems have created a dynamic and effective teaching tool that enhances student engagement and facilitates a better understanding of the culinary arts.

When Jack Porter, an experiential brand designer, invited PixelFLEX to integrate bespoke direct view LED video wall features into the new Michigan State University Izzo Football Building, we were ready for the challenge. This initiative aimed to enrich the facility with innovative and interactive displays, tailored to fit unique spatial requirements and designed to curve and angle for an uninterrupted visual experience.
The project’s first hallmark is a captivating 60-ft by 18-ft angled video wall situated in the lobby, incorporating PixelFLEX’s FLEXMod 2.5mm LED with Pixel Shield technology. This feature elegantly wraps around a mitered corner, serving as a dynamic canvas for displaying branded athletic content. The installation not only elevates the aesthetic appeal of the space but also stirs excitement and fosters school spirit among students and visitors alike.
Further enhancing the interactive environment, the second installation is located in the Nike Gear Lab. This segment utilizes PixelFLEX’s FLEXUltra 2.5mm panels, constructing an immersive experience with displays that extend over 12 feet in height and nearly six feet in width. The seamless integration of floor panels beneath a durable tempered glass overlay invites direct engagement. This setup allows students to interactively explore various football uniform options and visualize themselves in Nike gear, bridging the gap between physical and digital realms in alignment with the contemporary, digital-first preferences of the university’s student body.
Together, these features underscore Michigan State University’s commitment to leveraging advanced technology to create engaging, modern spaces. The collaboration of industry leaders that made this project possible include:
