BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC
I’ ve got to think about how the music industry is evolving and how we can make sure the technology stays up to date. We need to keep in touch with what’ s happening.”
Berklee’ s comprehensive structural overhaul Varun’ s transformation of more than 200 spaces across Berklee’ s sprawling campus has taken place over a threeand-a-half-year period, encompassing classrooms, conference spaces and specialised facilities such as rehearsal and performance facilities. Working alongside Logitech, Q-Sys and NEAT, Berklee has been able to implement specific conferencing and audiovisual solutions.
Swiss-American technology company Logitech is a prime example of a strong partner for Berklee, Varun explains, as its specialism in computer peripherals and conferencing solutions has facilitated Berklee’ s technology transformation. As Varun shares, four or five years ago, setting up a conference room for six or seven people required heavily integrated technology with dedicated processors, microphones and complex infrastructure.
“ Logitech has just revolutionised that by putting in simple solutions with high-quality audio and video,” he shares.“ It’ s amazing technology that’ s super simple to install and doesn’ t stop us from extending the rooms.
