PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS Retrofits University of Washington Classrooms with Connectrac Cable Management SolutionsConnectrac announced today classrooms at the University of Washington have been retrofitted with Connectrac In-Carpet Wireways by PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS. At their campus in Seattle, the University of Washington hired PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS for a retrofit project inside its Health Sciences building. Within the classrooms, UW was challenged with finding an affordable, yet sleek, solution for installing the A/V, power, and data cable management needed to provide the classrooms with a more interactive and collaborative environment. Video projectors, laptop and technological access would make the classroom not just more than a lecture hall, but also a place to grow and cultivate innovation. "We work by a method that we developed that we call 'PIONEERING POSSIBLE™,' which means that we are innovative with the technology, sustainable, solution oriented and out of the box," said Joe Westbrook, VP and General Manager at PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS. "Our customers demand a level of excellence, and we must find the most elegant solution to solve our logistic requirements and allow us to showcase our work with one product." Since 2008, a product that's been able to showcase PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS' work is Connectrac Wireways. Options such as core drilling or trenching are simply nonviable due to the amount of extra work required, such as the abatement of lower ceilings, floor scanning and intrusions into other classrooms. The simplicity of Connectrac's aesthetics, purchasing processes and installation methods drew PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS in. With Connectrac In-Carpet Wireway, the PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS installation team provided the Health Sciences Building classrooms with the A/V and data cble management needed to increase professor and student interaction. "We like how clean the installations look," Westbrook recalled. "It's integrated, professional and everyone is comfortable with the process." The Connectrac In-Carpet Wireway solution saved PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS approximately fifty percent in total costs compared to core drilling and trenching, the same amount of savings shown in the company's recent RSMeans study. The out-of-the-box thinking by PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS lived up to their method, "PIONEERING POSSIBLE™." "PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS continues to break new ground and push the boundaries of cable management for the A/V and technology industry since their expansion," CEO of Connectrac Clint Strong stated. "To continue to collaborate and work with a company like PROTON360™ COMMUNICATIONS shows us that we may be doing something right."
