Corporate: Entrance Group for the Main Building of Sberbank in Moscow, Russia

Polymedia team has designed and implemented a content display system and a system of mobile and stationary sound equipment for the entrance zone of the headquarters of Sberbank.

Unique content display system components are installed in three zones:

• Reception. The zone features three LED screens with a 2.5mm pixel pitch united into a single solution by the common shared content. One semi-cylindrical screen wraps the central column of the zone. Two other screens are flat and located on the sides of the column.
• The balcony that is covered with an LED foil (a transparent LED screen with the area of 22,16 m2) installed on a glass balcony wall.
• Entrance zone featuring an LED screen with an anti-glare surface.

The content display system is a multi-zone solution based on various information display systems, united by a single switching system and a subsystem that helps to create, prepare and broadcast the content.

The sound systems are installed in six zones. Overall, within the scope of the project, the team installed 56 acoustic systems in the building, among which are: reception, Sberbank's corporate store, balcony, waiting area for visitors, a mini café, and the entrance. The system includes a multizone sound solution for the entrance group and a mobile solution for off-site events.

• A biology classroom with unique technology for the demonstration of study materials in the form of holographic models;
• Five mathematics classrooms, each with a large-scale interactive space for the collaborative work of students;
• Recreation areas including entrance groups for senior and primary students and a lobby with several multi-screen digital signage installations and a navigation system;
• Assembly hall for 450 people with an immersive AV installation including sound system, stage lighting, a system of LED screens and a panoramic projection system;
