Scope of Work: Design, Procurement and Construction Oversight.
Gill Coliseum: LED Display Systems, Scoring, Integrated Digital and Static Signage.
Reser Stadium: LED Display Systems.

As the project AV Consultant and Owner’s Representative, AJP worked closely with Oregon State to design, procure and oversee the installation and integration of technology assets at Gill Coliseum. The new center hung scoreboard features four concave 6mm LED video displays – two 14.5-foot-high by 26-foot-wide displays facing the sidelines and two 9.5-foot-high by 16.5-foot-wide displays facing the ends of the building.

The center hung displays are each capable of variable content zoning. This feature allows each display to show one large image or to show multiple different zones of content including scoring and statistics, live video and instant replay, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.

The LED upgrades also included two 10mm scorer’s tables, each measuring 2 feet high by 9.5 feet wide. These can be paired together to show supplemental content to the main displays and to highlight sponsors throughout events.

CENTER-HUNG VIDEO BOARD HIGHLIGHTS GILL ENHANCEMENTS

CORVALLIS, OREGON – Oregon State fans and student-athletes will experience enhancements to Gill Coliseum, including an HD center-hung video board and all new LED lights.

“Gill Coliseum is one of the iconic arenas in the country and these major additions will continue to transform the facility and improve the fan and student-athlete experience,” OSU Vice President and Director of Athletics, Scott Barnes said. “The improvements to Gill Coliseum are also part of our larger long term athletics facility enhancement plan that will enable Oregon State Athletics to continue to grow.”

Events at Gill Coliseum will have a new focus for live video, replays and statistics with four inward-curved LED video displays, each featuring 6-millimeter line spacing, suspended above the court. The configuration will feature two 14.5-foot-high by 26-foot-wide displays facing the sidelines and two 9.5-foot-high by 16.5-foot-wide displays facing the ends of the arena.

The center-hung displays are each capable of variable content zoning. This feature allows each display to show one large image or to show multiple different zones of content including scoring and statistics, live video and instant replay, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.

The new LED lights will allow for flexibility to be turned off for starting lineup introductions and create different levels of lighting depending on the event.

Gill Coliseum will also be receiving two LED scorer’s tables, each measuring 2 feet high by 9.5 feet wide and featuring 10-millimeter line spacing. These can be paired together to show supplemental content to the main displays and to highlight sponsors during events.

The privately-funded project is scheduled to begin this month and is slated for completion prior to the 2018 volleyball season.

Over the past two years, renovations to Gill Coliseum have included a state-of-the-art sound system, new seats in the lower bowl, an upgrade to restrooms on the first level, a refurbished front lobby, modernization to all directional signage throughout the arena, and the installation of Miller Side Market.
