The project consisted of three main areas—public spaces, football locker room and football meeting rooms and auditorium. WJHW worked on the sound and display systems for each space. The signature of the football locker room is the locker displays which use 2 Christie Microtiles driven by a cloud hosted system to display player information, motivational messages and key information for the day. Of course the locker and training rooms are equipped with significant sound systems, driven from a variety of sound choices. Within the public spaces, WJHW designed the displays and sound systems for the themed display components. The team meeting room and auditorium were refreshed with new displays and sound systems. Following the success at Football, a similar, locker room renovation was executed for the basketball locker room, although the locker displays in this case were based on standard monitors.

SCOPE OF DESIGN SERVICES
– Sound Systems
– Display Systems for themed display components

Formerly known as the Hofheinz Pavilion, the University of Houston’s 50-year old Multi-Purpose Arena underwent a $60M renovation to create a state-of-the-art venue now known as the Fertitta Center. The 190,000 SF project included raised ceilings, a reconfigured seating bowl (including club sections and VIP suites), a new court and scoreboard, additional entrances and concessions with retail spaces, expanded restrooms, and upgraded equipment and technology throughout the building.

The facility now houses two curved LED video displays, one at each end of the court, each measuring 13.5 feet high by 60 feet wide. To supplement content on the main displays, the venue also includes a halo ribbon display hanging in the center of the arena and measuring 2.5 feet high by 568 feet in circumference; a ribbon display along the seating fascia, measuring 2.5 feet high by 130 feet long; and 4 scorer’s tables on the sidelines, each measuring 2 feet high by 9 feet wide.

WJHW provided architectural acoustics review and recommendations, as well as consultation for architectural and mechanical noise control. The team designed the sound system for the seating bowl and ancillary spaces, audio-visual presentation systems, RF television distribution system extensions, base building broadcast cabling, scoreboard/video display and fascia (ribbon) systems, video replay infrastructure, in-house video production systems, and catwalk systems for entertainment and architectural lighting.
