About the client, a convention center with more than 1 million yearly visitors.
Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, stands an iconic symbol of innovation and grandeur in the world of conventions – The Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC). With an impressive expanse encompassing over 3.9 million square feet of exquisite exhibition space, this illustrious venue annually welcomes a myriad of distinguished visitors, surpassing the one-million mark. Notably, the GWCC proudly boasts the esteemed title of being the globe's largest LEED-certified convention center, while also securing its position as the fourth-largest of its kind within the United States.
The Project: The modernization of a dispatch control center for a convention center.
The GWCC needed to renovate its control room with state-of-the-art control consoles for event management and security monitoring. For this project, they required 3 consoles, 2 were meant for dispatchers, and a third one was meant for the supervising operator.
Each console needed to house specialized IT equipment and multiple CPUs while maintaining easy access for maintenance that wouldn’t interrupt daily operations.
Beyond functionality, the consoles were also required to fulfill ergonomic needs, offering operators the ability to adjust the height of their workstations to ensure comfort during long and demanding shifts, effectively alleviating strain and fatigue. Also, having a clutter-free work surface was a key requirement of the client.
The two consoles meant for the operators, needed to support six central monitors, as shown below, and they were also required to be shaped in a cockpit configuration.
The third dispatch control console which was dedicated to the supervisor, required dual monitor positions at opposite ends of the work surface, to easily glance over the other 2 operators.
The solution: Custom dispatch control consoles to modernize the control center in a convention center.
After carefully considering all of their needs and preferences, our client chose our Transit S console as the ideal solution for their new control center. Designed with durability, ergonomics, and versatility in mind, the Transit S console met all of the GWCC’s requirements and exceeded their expectations, ensuring a seamless and efficient operation of the convention center.
The dual worksurface provides a clutter-free workspace with easy access to power and data thanks to the monument system. The cable chains and the steel substructure provide an elegant cable management solution for the IT equipment stored in the CPU enclosures which connect to the monitors mounted on the sturdy monitor arms.
The result: A modern control room with heavy-duty control consoles for a modern control center
Presently, the GWCC stands adorned with an avant-garde dispatch control center that operates seamlessly, propelled by the durability of our Transit console system. The new center encompasses quality, durability, efficiency, and functionality, through the implementation of our Transit consoles.
The Transit consoles boast an array of ergonomic features designed to alleviate stress and fatigue for operators. The height-adjustable workstations and an extensive worksurface not only elevate operator well-being but also significantly amplify their workflow and productivity.
In its entirety, the Transit console system has not only met but decidedly exceeded the GWCC's expectations, emerging as an instrumental asset in the center's triumphant modernization endeavor.
