Project Spotlight: Grand Opening of the New Stockton University Residence Hall

Stockton University has opened the doors to a second residence hall in Atlantic City in another key step toward revitalizing and growing the resort town beyond its historic casino industry. This endeavor was a public-private partnership between Stockton University and the Atlantic City Development Corp with the goal of expanding the university’s housing supply in the city to nearly 1,000 beds. This feat builds upon the completion of a residence hall that opened in 2018 alongside a new academic building, under a plan to create a beachfront campus that would infuse the neighborhood with students and school personnel.

The new six-story, 135,000-square-foot building offers apartment- and suite-style units. Most of the suites include four single bedrooms, a common area, two bathrooms and a full kitchen. There’s also a lounge on each floor, meeting room, business center and laundry facilities. Students have views of the beach, Boardwalk and O’Donnell Park and access to a courtyard with outside seating.

It was an honor to work on this project with O’Donnell & Naccarato, AC DevCo and Thriven Design to provide Telecommunications Cabling Systems w/ Infrastructure, Audiovisual Systems w/ Infrastructure, and Acoustics, Noise & Vibration Control Design Services.

Telecommunications Infrastructure and Audiovisual Infrastructure for Latino Gallery & Exhibit at the Smithsonian Provided by CTDG

Properly functioning telecommunications infrastructure and audiovisual infrastructure is vital to creating an overall pleasurable and successful exhibit experience. Summer is approaching, and it’s a great time to visit exhibits and museums across the nation. One of our favorites is the Latino Gallery at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

Dedicated to celebrating the U.S. Latino experience. This 4,500-square-foot rotating exhibition is the first of its kind featuring viewer-generated multimedia first-person narratives introducing important ideas, moments, and people that shine a light on the many ways Latinos and Latinas shaped the nation.

For this project, Convergent Technologies Design Group, Inc. was a proud provider of telecommunications cabling systems for the entire exhibit and audiovisual infrastructure that supported the exhibit designer’s strategy for the rotating video walls. Take a sneak peek at the advancements of this project by clicking the image below and scrolling down to the header “Under Construction” to see a time-lapse of this project. The exhibit is scheduled to be open Summer of 2022.
