A daunting task, to keep 3,800 + students, faculty and staff safe. A new PA system is the answer. Ohio TeleCom was tasked to install a new campus wide public address system in it’s 150,000 square foot campus. 100+ classrooms, common areas and bathrooms required 149 speakers to complete the job. With one touch switch to sound the tornado alarm and the active shooter alarm the new system was a welcomed sight to the fall 2019 school year.
Due to the foot traffic of 3,800 people, all work was completed from 10:00pm to 7:00am.
all of the additions and upgrades to the school since 1973 made for some interesting cable routes. The building was designed for higher education origionally had an 8 Ohm system using Bogen and Wheelock amplifier and speakers. The new equipment is using Pyle amplifiers and JBL speakers, allowing for a uniform sound throughout the college campus.
