CLIENT OVERVIEW

Michigan State University (MSU) is renowned for its robust football program, embodying a tradition of excellence, spirit, and innovation on and off the field. As part of its strategic vision, MSU is committed to enhancing its technological infrastructure, aiming to position itself as a highly engaged digital university. This initiative reflects the university’s dedication to serving the evolving needs of today’s learners, workers, and citizens, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in a dynamic, digital future. 

At the heart of MSU’s efforts is the enhancement of campus facilities, including the iconic Izzo Football Building, with state-of-the-art technological integrations. These enhancements are not merely about keeping pace with digital trends but are a clear indication of MSU’s forward-thinking approach to education and athletics. By incorporating advanced LED displays and interactive digital solutions, MSU is setting new standards for engaging and inspiring students, athletes, and the broader community. 

The strategic incorporation of technology extends beyond entertainment and aesthetics; it is an integral part of MSU’s mission to foster a vibrant, innovative learning environment. Interactive displays and immersive digital experiences within athletic facilities are designed to engage students in unique ways, promoting a sense of pride and belonging while also showcasing MSU’s commitment to innovation. 

Michigan State University’s football program, with its rich history of success, serves as a beacon for the university’s broader goals. The program’s embrace of technology mirrors MSU’s vision of becoming a leader in digital education and engagement. Through these initiatives, MSU demonstrates its commitment to enhancing the university experience, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age, and contributing to the development of a technologically proficient society. 

OUR TASK

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: 

This collaborative effort demonstrates a shared vision for enhancing educational environments through creativity, innovation, and the seamless integration of technology.

OUR TASK

When students walk into Belmont University’s Massey Center lobby, they are pleasantly greeted with a spread of beautiful LED video displays. PixelFLEX proudly partnered with Advent to enhance this space with cutting-edge LED technology.

The installation features two 10-foot FLEXUltra LED walls with 1.9 mm pixel pitch and Pixel Shield for durability, alongside a double-sided, nearly nineteen-foot-tall FLEXClear screen with a 3.9mm pixel pitch.

The FLEXClear’s semi-transparency preserves the lobby’s natural light, blending innovative display technology with the center’s architectural aesthetics. This strategic integration of visual technology not only enriches the space but also underscores the Massey Center’s commitment to innovation and collaboration. 

The inclusion of these displays were strategically designed to enhance the visual appeal and atmosphere of the space, primarily for the benefit of Belmont students. They serve a multifunctional purpose by providing a dynamic medium for college news, updates, and entertainment, catering to the preferences and engagement styles of the student body. This innovative approach not only beautifies the lobby area but also ensures that students stay informed and entertained in a format that resonates with them. 

These popular panels are lightweight and flexible, allowing for easy installation and versatile design possibilities. They feature a quick-install system, minimizing disruption to the store’s operations during the installation process. 

Both front and rear serviceable, FLEXClear panels offer convenience in maintenance, ensuring the longevity of the LED display. With a high refresh rate, FLEXClear ensures smooth and flicker-free content delivery, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

CLIENT OVERVIEW

With the opening of a $37.5 million state-of-the-art facility, the University of Alabama at Birmingham recently unveiled the new home of the Collat School of Business and the Bill L. Harbert Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Designed by Williams Blackstock Architects of Birmingham and Robert A.M. Stern Architects of New York City, the 108,000-square foot educational center was created to provide a modern and innovative learning environment.

OUR TASK

Wanting an eye-catching display that would acknowledge all those you helped make the new facility possible, the University worked with the visual design specialists at Fravert Services who installed a free-flowing FLEXUltra LED video design from Nashville-based PixelFLEX™.

Knowing that LED video gave us the ability to be more creative, Fravert started toying with the idea of using the individual PixelFLEX modules to create something truly interesting. Since this would not only serve as the donor wall, but also a recruiting tool for prospective students and faculty, the custom nature of the design would allow us to best demonstrate where the University is headed, and what it means to be a student at the school.

CLIENT

TESTIMONIAL

“For us, we are trying to design more experiential displays, and the PixelFLEX technology simply gives us the freedom to be more creative, which is something we truly value.”

CLIENT OVERVIEW

Basketball is at the core of Providence College’s identity. Its program is a major attraction for both potential recruits and students looking to participate in a robust college athletics scene. But In 2017, Providence was the only program in the BIG EAST without a dedicated on-campus practice facility.

The main entrance creates an unforgettable first impression for recruits with a two-story atrium, floating Friars logo, and tactile statement wall. Providence promises players more than basketball with dedicated study spaces and an emphasis on family. Program values fill the walls and connect players to the greater goals behind each practice. With playful, personal touches, like the player’s lounge or the barbershop graphic of famous player haircuts, athletes can feel at home.

OUR TASK

The Ruane Friar Development Center is a 56,000 square-foot practice facility for the men’s basketball team, equipped with cutting-edge tech, two full-size practice courts, an athletics training center, staff offices, and a new Friar Athletics Hall of Fame. The main concourse level is elevated with a large format fine pixel pitch LED Display.
