CHW Consulting recently completed the Chief Justice’s Conference Room for the Family Court of Australia. The design involved the integration of audio and video conferencing systems together with motorised display lifters and room control system which interfaces to the lighting system

One of the challenges faced by CHW Consulting was that the room was long and had a low ceiling height which made acceptable sight lines to a single projection difficult. Secondary LCD displays are deployed independently of the projection system can be used for attendees further away from the screen.

The aim of the space was to be able to use it for conferences and meetings as well as private functions. All the furniture is removable and when in function mode, no audiovisual equipment is seen or encroaches on the space.
