Anaheim, California (July 24, 2024) - Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), one of the oldest and most respected public technical universities in the Netherlands, recently celebrated the completion of the Echo building, an innovative addition to its campus. Recognized among the world’s top engineering and technology institutions, TU Delft has integrated Extron's NAV Pro AV over IP technology to create adaptable, high-tech learning environments that meet the dynamic needs of modern education. The Echo building, boasting a generous 8,844 square meters of versatile teaching and collaboration space, utilizes Extron’s technology to connect different halls and manage overflow seamlessly, enhancing the overall learning experience.

“The ease of use with the NAVigator console to route the different signals between the devices is nice,” says Marco Buitenhuis, AV/IT expert at TU Delft. “Whenever a request comes to connect different halls together for overflow purposes, it is easy to accommodate, because every signal is already on the network with NAV to pick up.”

Designed to support a range of teaching methodologies, the Echo building includes ten educational spaces, each equipped with advanced AV technology. The largest lecture hall can be divided into three smaller rooms, supporting both traditional and interactive teaching formats. Extron’s equipment plays a pivotal role in these configurations, ensuring seamless transitions between different room setups. Aligning with TU Delft’s commitment to sustainability, the Echo building is not only a hub for innovative learning but also a model of energy efficiency, with the building itself being energy-positive. The integration of Extron’s energy-efficient AV technology supports the university's sustainability goals while providing flexibility and scalability for future needs. TU Delft continues to demonstrate its leadership in integrating cutting-edge technology with educational practices. The successful deployment of Extron’s AV systems in the Echo building underscores the university’s vision to remain at the forefront of global education by fostering environments that enhance learning through technology.
