LightWerks upgraded AV technology in the USC Football Auditorium


LightWerks has a longstanding relationship with University of Southern California (USC) and has partnered with the elite university on countless AV projects. The John McKay Center is the University of Southern California’s 120,000-square-foot athletic training complex. The facility houses the 140-seat Trojan Football Auditorium.

Formed in 1888, the USC Trojans have 856 wins and claim 11 national championships. The Trojan Football Auditorium is steeped in history and has served as the inner sanctum for the revered Trojan Football team. The space serves as a forum for players, coaches and trainers to gather and review short/long terms goals, review plays during a game (lessons learned) and discuss and plan new strategies that they wish to incorporate during upcoming games.

In order to optimize and create a more engaging experience for audience members and presenters, LightWerks collaborated with USC to upgrade the technology in the Trojan Football Auditorium with state-of-the-art AV solutions. The integration includes a new laser projection system by Sharp NEC, QSC Q-SYS control, Cisco AV switching, a Visionary Solutions AV over IP video/audio distribution system, multiple monitors, an Aver document camera and more. The new technology is easy to operate and adds tremendous value to the team's experience in the space.

LightWerks specializes in transforming education spaces through the integration of technology aimed at expanding learning resources and opportunities for students.
