INTRODUCTION
Imagine a cutting-edge collaborative space for developing and showcasing innovative, creative, interactive audiovisual projects that will shape careers and take media technologies to new levels. That was the opportunity the University of Salford saw when they took space at the MediaCItyUK complex on Salford Quays in Manchester.
MediaCityUK is host to the BBC, Britain’s national broadcaster, and many independent creative and media businesses — an ideal learning environment for the media professionals of the future.
The centerpiece of the University’s building is an elliptical space known as the Egg, which acts as a store window for the building and gives students the opportunity to showcase their work. Electrosonic worked with the MediaCity team to equip the Egg with a large, flexible video wall, presentation space and a set of interactive tables.
