The ceiling project is part of a huge digital transformation project at Manchester’s iconic Printworks Venue.
The project is part of a massive £16M refurbishment taking place at the city centre entertainment complex throughout 2022, which will make the venue more welcoming during both day and night. The huge, multi-faceted media platform will provide its diverse range of day-to-night audiences with unique and immersive experiences that harness mixed-reality applications, show-stopping creativity and live gamification.
The installation will include ADI’s proprietary MT LED technology – a next-generation lightweight and slimline product designed specifically with architectural and façade usage in mind. The ceiling screen will utilise a brand-new fire-rated version of the screen; believed to be the world’s only LED panel to meet the stringent new European Standard BSEN 13501-1 certification.
Drew Burrow ADI DISPLAYS Head of Sales (Bespoke & Creative) comments: “This ambitious digital venue transformation has three main elements to consider – Displays, Content and Control – and each presents its own challenges.
The value that ADI add is our ability to help the customer consider all of these elements in the round; initially in a consultancy capacity, then to deliver the solutions, and finally to create and manage creative content.
