As a 15-story, state-of-the-art student residence, The Atmosphere required a flexible, future-ready AV system to support both community interaction and quiet study—all while aligning with a tight construction timeline and third-party electrical constraints.

3rd Floor: Outdoor atrium with LED video wall, landscape speakers, and weatherproof displays
