SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
SMARTER EDUCATION
FROM FIT-OUTS TO FUTURE-READY CLASSROOMS
INNOVATIVE CLASSROOMS, CONNECTED THINKING
SovComm, a well-established commercial contractor specialising in partitions, ceilings, and fit-out projects, traditionally operated in sectors such as pharmacy, defence, and general construction. However, the growing demand for integrated AV solutions in education presented a new opportunity. By partnering with Lindy, Sovereign Commercial successfully expanded into the AV sector, delivering advanced seamless remote learning environments for educational institutions.
THE CHALLENGE
A technical college in Hastings faced difficulties in securing specialised teachers for various subjects across multiple campuses. Without a reliable AV solution, they struggled to provide equal learning opportunities for all students, limiting access to expert instruction.
LINDY’S SOLUTION
Lindy’s AV technology empowered SovComm to expand beyond traditional construction services by delivering full-room AV integration across 12 classrooms. Applying their construction expertise, SovComm transformed learning spaces with large-format video walls (3.5m x 2.1m) designed for impactful remote teaching and 98-inch interactive displays to boost student engagement and real-time interaction.
Standardised Lindy connectivity solutions ensured reliable, user-friendly operation, while seamless integration with Microsoft Teams enabled educators to quickly adapt to the system, creating dynamic, connected learning environments across multiple campuses.
