Convergent Technologies Design Group New York, Inc. (CTDGNY) has been asked to provide audiovisual system electronics with associated supporting infrastructure, access control/video surveillance systems electronics design services for the Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH) Simulation Center Project located in Baltimore, MD. The Simulation Center is designed to support the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine student curriculum as well as the patient safety needs of the faculty and staff of JHH.
Healthcare simulation is used to train for teamwork, to train for emergencies, as a method for skills training for novices, to evaluate competency, and for investigating human performance. It can also be used to test new procedures for safety, for human factors testing, and as a research method. Simulation is becoming increasingly important for novice healthcare trainees, as well as for seasoned clinicians to maintain clinical competency and be trained on new and innovative approaches to patient care.

PROJECT
DASNY Queens College
Fitzgerald Gym
DESCRIPTION
Queens College, located in Queens, New York, was founded in 1937 and is recognized as a prestigious higher education institution on a national scale. The existing Fitzgerald Gymnasium building was constructed soon after the founding of the institution, and has served as an athletic and educational building for a variety of programs and departments. The College plans to undergo a renovation project to upgrade the facility to include state-of-the-art audiovisual systems technology. Convergent Technologies was asked by Sasaki Associates to provide Audiovisual Systems Design Services as well as Acoustics, Noise & Vibration Control Analysis Services for the Fitzgerald Gymnasium Renovation project. The design effort included recommendations for audio reinforcement systems, classroom instruction systems, distributed CATV displays, as well as limited audio and video conferencing capabilities in various areas throughout the building. CTDG’s acoustical analysis focused on the adaptation of existing structural and components, and integration of new architectural components, to achieve the required level of sound isolation and interior acoustical performance to support the programmed use of each athletic, instructional, or administrative space within the building. The project began in late 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2016.

Convergent Technologies was asked by Davis
Architects to provide audiovisual systems
design for Samford University College of Health
Sciences. It is understood that the College of
Health Sciences is a relatively new program,
which will be migrating standards from a range
of existing programs into a single building.
The overall design for each Audiovisual system
was to provide Samford University with cutting
edge technology presentation and simulation
capture systems which will enable the operation,
administration, and security of the facility,
and will also enhance higher education instruction
and collaboration in each educational space.
Spaces to receive Audiovisual systems design
include four high fidelity simulation suites,
ten exam rooms,or lab, health assessment lab,
and the pharmacy.

[col3]Construction of The National Law Enforcement Museum is now underway in historic Judiciary Square. Convergent Technologies is providing Audiovisual Systems, Telecommunications Cabling, & Access Control Systems design for this exciting project. The Museum will be below grade with two glass entrance pavilions positioned south of the Memorial and fronting E Street with the historic City Hall behind. These glass pavilions will create a sense of openness while establishing a contemporary image for the Museum that respectfully stands apart from the heavier mass of the surrounding historic court buildings. The Museum was authorized by Public Law 106-492 which was signed by President Bill Clinton. Keep up to date on the construction progress[/col3]
