FIVE SULLIVAN BROTHERS CONVENTION CENTER Page 2
AUDIO/VISUAL UPGRADE - 1/13/10
All projectors are ceiling mounted with remote controls that will allow powerpoint
presentations, etc. Screens will also be flush ceiling mounted. This will offer the
security necessary so these items will not "grow legs" and walk off.
The project also includes a digital messaging center for internal directions and room
locations for events. This system will include four (4) digital monitors located throughout
the facility so at a glance visitors will know where events are located.
Recommendations and documents will follow.
Thank you for considering these items.
