Alta Bates Medical Conference and Education Center / EOC, Berkeley, CA

Anshen + Allen

Developed an A/V programming document for a proposed two-story conference and training facility which could also function as an EOC. The facility would contain two large divisible conference rooms and four smaller separate conference rooms. The divisible conference rooms would have six linked video monitors to display the image from one VCR, and a speech reinforcement system. This system would allow for audio archive, microphone mixing, as well as speech reinforcement to be routed within the room as the room combination changes.
