Swansea University is a leading educational institution in Southwest Wales, with a top Medical School, renowned for its research. To support the introduction of new Pharmacy study courses, the University invested £2.1 million in a new state-of-the-art facility including a workshop/ seminar space, with simulated community pharmacy, four consultation rooms, a social learning space, meeting rooms, in addition to offices and breakout spaces for academic and professional services staff.

The University required audio visual solutions across the new pharmacy spaces to support the learning experience. In the Pharmacy Skills Suite, to enable active learning and group work, a flexible AV system was implemented.
