In the heart of the Flemish Parlement, the Jan Van Eyckzaal has undergone a remarkable transformation. This once modest room now stands as a beacon of modernity and functionality, ready to host various events with its state-of-the-art facilities.
Background
The Jan Van Eyckzaal, named after the illustrious Flemish painter, has always been significant in the Vlaams Parlement. However, as time passed, its charm was overshadowed by outdated technology and limited accessibility. The need for a comprehensive upgrade became evident to ensure it could meet the demands of contemporary events and gatherings.
Challenges
The journey to revitalise the Jan Van Eyckzaal was challenging. The room’s existing setup was a relic of the past, needing more technological advancements for modern events. The room’s design and location made it difficult for all attendees to access and enjoy the space comfortably. Additionally, the old audio system struggled to deliver clear sound, making it hard for participants to engage fully.
Solution
A visionary plan was set into motion to breathe new life into the Jan Van Eyckzaal. The solution focused on three main areas: cutting-edge audio-visual equipment, including a fixed beamer and double-sided screens, were installed to enhance presentations and discussions. The room’s entry points and seating arrangements were redesigned to ensure everyone could participate comfortably. Advanced soundproofing and high-quality microphones were introduced to guarantee crystal-clear audio for all events. A great collaboration between the different manufacturers Bosch, Panasonic, L-Acoustics, Crestron, and NETGEAR.
Implementation
The transformation of the Jan Van Eyck room was a meticulous process. Experts in architecture and technology collaborated to create a detailed renovation blueprint. The room has modern infrastructure, including climate control, WiFi, and sophisticated lighting systems. The new systems were rigorously tested, followed by staff training sessions to ensure seamless operation.
Result
The Jan Van Eyckzaal now stands as a testament to innovation and functionality. Its new technology easily supports a wide range of events, from debates to presentations. Improved design and seating arrangements make the room welcoming and user-friendly. Advanced acoustic solutions ensure that every word spoken is heard clearly, enhancing communication and engagement.
