Saint Thomas Hospital has been caring for patients in the Middle Tennessee area for over 100 years with a mission of providing sustainable, spiritually centered holistic care to the communities it serves. We recently helped Saint Thomas Hospital complete a technology overhaul that helps their physicians educate, train, and be trained more effectively.

This project was a results-driven endeavor with a clear list of objectives from the get-go. Through an extensive discovery phase with hospital personnel and the project consultant, we were able to accurately define a scope of work that met their needs from both a technology and a financial standpoint.

We provided design and integration services for the overhauled audio, lighting and video systems for three educational environments throughout the midtown campus, including the Media Learning Center auditorium. The renovated MLC gives physicians, educators and administrators the ability to host a variety of events ranging from new employee trainings to demonstrations of the latest surgical techniques and advancements. Our goal was to make every seat in the house the best seat in the house. All viewing angles were carefully determined, and the PA was selected after an acoustic model was performed to ensure even audio coverage throughout the seating plot. The end result was a custom-built environment tailored specifically to the needs of hospital and healthcare professionals.

Given the variety of professionals who would be utilizing the space for different events, special emphasis was placed on training and continuing education–not just for what the space could do day one, but the capabilities of the system in the future.

Located in the heart of Music City, Belmont University is a mecca for those aspiring to a career in the music business. The Curb Event Center is the hub for many of Belmonts on-campus activities its aging speaker system was not able to handle the demands placed on it. At a university that acts as a training ground for future studio and road technicians, the system was not able to provide accurate and clear audio to the students and faculty that use the Event Center.

Fortunately, InteRise was able to help. General Manager, Philip Hagood, had first-hand knowledge of the space and the team at Belmont from his time as a student there. Belmont came to InteRise and needed a fix for the system that did not impact the busy schedule of the arena but also corrected their issues using the equipment Belmont already had installed.

InteRise reconditioned the entire speaker system, added a flown center cluster and provided a temporary solution for Belmont during their summer graduation without negatively impacting the pre-existing schedule for the arena. This included removal and refurbishment of 30 speaker clusters at the InteRise HQ in Nashville. Additionally, a new DSP program and system configuration was implemented upon reinstallation that allowed for significantly improved user interface and audio consistency across the room.

Belmont was able to upgrade the quality of sound in one of their most integral venues with our help. The Curb Event Center speaker system refurbishment was a labor of love that will provide a superior sound experience to students, alumni, musicians, sports fans and more.

When you’ve got a massive space that seats a congregation of 4,500, the experience for the person in the front row and the person in the back row can be completely different. That was the challenge Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas faced every Sunday. Our goal was to create an intimate experience for every worshiper, while also installing systems that would set Green Acres up for success in the decade to come.

We used the highest-quality equipment and latest industry techniques to achieve Green Acres’ short-term and long-term technology goals. The system that we designed and installed is one of the largest d&b audiotechnik and Solid State Logic installations in the house of worship market and includes an array processed V-Series and two SSL L500 Plus consoles with 256 channels. We used over a mile of fiber, allowing audio to be shared throughout the church’s expansive campus. We also chose leading microphone manufacturers Shure and Earthworks for the main worship center and the Yamaha Nuage system for the 128-channel recording studio.
