Education
Pacific has been designing and transforming teaching spaces, lecture theatres, flexible areas, and meeting rooms in educational establishments for over 20 years.
Never has audio-visual hardware and solutions been so prevalent and essential for teaching as it is now. Requirements from universities and colleges are diverse, extensive, and in a constant state of evolution, with technology and pedagogical methods having had to adapt quickly to accommodate factors such as the global pandemic, the increase in international students, and hybrid teaching.
Pacific is at the forefront of these technological advances, as well as the evolving teaching and learning practices used by institutions. We work closely with a wide range of universities, further education colleges, schools, and academy trusts, enabling us to offer the most suitable and relevant solutions to meet the needs of this ever-changing environment.
Pacific has seen growth with institutions in the following areas:
- Hybrid teaching (Zoom, Teams, content sharing, and lecture capture and streaming).
- Wireless presentation (Mersive Technologies, Screen Beam and YeaLink).
- Space flexibility (AV over IP, Dynamic Control, and Dante Audio Systems).
- Technology that has a lower impact on the environment (LED Displays and projection, POE-powered hardware).
- Dynamic digital signage (LED video walls, Brightsign, Onelan solutions).
Pacific works with all relevant manufacturing partners. This allows us to specify and design solutions using an agnostic approach, meeting the specific requirements of our clients. We work with our clients to design solutions that offer the following:
- Existing estate and solutions
- Preference for certain manufacturers
- Value for money
- Features and functionality
- Reliability and robustness
- Ease of use
- Ease of maintenance
Pacific are also approved suppliers on the following frameworks:
- NEUPC
- NWUPC
- HEPCW
- LUPC
- SUPC
- CPC
We are an award-winning audio-visual integrator with a strong pedigree across all sectors. Over the years, we have become one of the premier audio-visual providers in the UK’s educational sector, with many repeat clients and sole supplier agreements with universities, alongside multi-supplier framework agreements.

Teaching Space Technology we can provide
Control Systems
Pacific offers an agnostic approach to designing control systems and we can offer technology and solutions from all manufacturers including Crestron, Extron, AMX, QSC, Biamp and many more
Switching, Scaling, and Signal Transmission.
Switching and scaling forms an integral part of any audio-visual system, enabling high-resolution images to be shown within teaching spaces. With the development of AV over IP, this has added further flexibility to teaching systems.
Audio Systems
Audio is integral to the successful delivery of a teaching space, enabling both voice reinforcement and program sound to be clearly heard. With steerable audio and Dante transmission, systems can be designed to match any shape or size of room as required.
Displays
From projected images to large format displays, or even LED pixel-pitch videowalls, Pacific are able to design the perfect solution for any teaching space, working with manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic, NEC, LG, and Samsung.
Lecture Capture and Hybrid
Lecture capture is an established technology with Panopto and Echo 360; however, the use of these systems has grown rapidly since the global pandemic, and hybrid teaching continues to be a main focus for institutions. Whether this is content and audio sharing, or full talk-back hybrid teaching rooms, Pacific have the expertise to offer scalable lecture capture solutions to all our clients.
